Fox Valley / Southwest DuPage Restructuring Initiative

As part of our "blueprint for the future" Vision 2020,
Pace, embarked on a restructuring process through a number of initiatives in the suburban Chicagoland region.

The Fox Valley Southwest DuPage Transit Initiative targeted the principal communities of Aurora, Bolingbrook, Lisle, Naperville, Warrenville, and Woodridge in DuPage, Kane, and Will Counties.

The initiative began in June, 2004. The purpose of the study was to comprehensively evaluate current service and identify demand in determining where people are and where they need to go. The initiative resulted in a recommendation for restructured transit services that will be more efficient and effective by emphasizing speed and availability. Our intent is to make Pace services a viable transportation choice and an integral part of communities regionwide.

Paramount to the success of the Fox Valley Southwest DuPage Initiative was input and direction from stakeholders and the community at large. The initiative included an extensive public outreach program so that input, direction, and subsequent recommendations for the initiative are community based. We contacted public officials, vested stakeholders, social service agencies, educational institutions, businesses and the general public to get input and guide the process through a number of public involvement forums and advisory groups. In addition, regular meetings were held with advisory groups, including a Technical Advisory Committee and a Community Advisory Group.

The changes are to routes operating primarily in Aurora, as well the introduction of a new route (529) serving Randall Road north to Geneva.

Thank you for riding Pace.
