About the proposed 2021 budget
Pace presents a balanced and stable budget for 2021 as no general fare increases are proposed for Suburban Service or Regional ADA Paratransit.
Pace’s proposed 2021 budget formalizes on-going service suspensions on 73 routes and schedule modifications on another 25 routes, all of which have been in place since May 18. While we are formally proposing to make these service reductions permanent, it’s important to note that no rider is losing any service beyond what has already been suspended or reduced since May. If these route eliminations and reductions are enacted by the Board in November, the level of service in 2021 will remain status quo until the availability of funding and return of commuter demand allows for a reevaluation and possible reinstatement of service. We understand people had previously relied on these routes, and the Pace Board of Directors does not take this proposal lightly.
The following service changes are proposed:
