North Shore Coordination PlanNorth Shore Transit Service Coordination Plan and Market Analysis
Project OverviewThe study included a review of existing Pace and CTA bus routes serving the North Shore study area, which includes the communities of Evanston, Lincolnwood, Skokie and Wilmette, and northern-most neighborhoods in the City of Chicago, as well as portions of neighboring communities. The primary goal of the study was to identify and plan for coordinated improvements of Pace and CTA bus service in the in the study area, as well as investigate opportunities for new service. Project UpdateThe study was completed in December of 2017. Pace and CTA will continue working with local communities to coordinate and implement the recommended service adjustments which were proposed at public meetings and detailed in the final report document and associated materials. For more information about the proposed changes, please click on the following: Steering CommitteeThe project Steering Committee (SC) was comprised of representatives from key agencies and municipal staff. SC participation was an important component of the study, which helped guide the incorporation of market findings into actionable recommendations, and provided important perspectives on project goals, measures of success, technical elements and community outreach strategies. The SC convened five times over the course of the study. Information on the dates, locations, agendas and presentation files for each of the five meetings, as well as SC membership can be found in the final report document.

SurveysPace and CTA would like to thank everyone who completed the rider and non-rider surveys administered in May and June of 2016. The data gathered has been evaluated and reported on in the Market Analysis Report (see below) and played an important role in designing the service improvements. Market Analysis Briefing BookThe Market Analysis Briefing Book is a condensed summary of all existing conditions assessments that were completed for the study, and includes highlights from the passenger and general public surveys that were conducted in the spring of 2016, Pace and CTA ridership and on-time performance data, demographic analysis and other market-based findings. The Briefing Book established a set of recommendations based on the market analysis, which was used to develop and evaluate service concepts.
