On June 12, 2025, the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) adopted Ordenanza 2025-26 approving an ADA Plan de Acción de Paratránsito, que incluye cambios propuestos a la ADA Programa de paratránsito para abordar el año 2025 proyectado ADA Déficit presupuestario para el transporte adaptado. De acuerdo con la RTA ADA Plan de Acción de Paratránsito, la RTA propuso los siguientes cambios programáticos para su implementación en 2025:
- Limitar el número de viajes TAP y RAP a 30 por mes por pasajero
- Increasing the TAP and RAP fares to $3.25 (same as the ADA Paratransit fare)
- Implementar viajes gratuitos en rutas fijas para ADA certified riders (for CTA and Metra, as Pace Ya implementamos este cambio en 2024)
Official action by Pace and RTA is still pending at this time. The proposed changes will be considered by Pace and the Regional Transportation Authority upon review of the feedback received as part of the public hearing process. When any final decisions are made, Pace will notify all enrollees of TAP and RAP as well as publish information online.
Interested persons may obtain copies of any reports, resolutions, or certificates describing the basis upon which the fare increase was calculated by viewing RTA Ordenanza 2025-26 and the RTA ADA Paratransit Action Plan.
