The South Cook County – Will County Initiative is the latest and largest of Pace’s service restructuring initiatives, encompassing 82 communities in Will County
and south and southwest Cook County, 48 bus routes and approximately 40 percent of Pace’s overall ridership.
Goals of the Initiative include aligning Pace service with current travel needs and demographics, improving service reliability and developing new transit options
beyond fixed bus routes. Pace is working closely with communities, businesses, its customers, regional transportation and planning organizations and social service
agencies to ensure that service changes will meet area needs.
