What’s in this plan?
The plan calls for Pace service to increase by 50% overall--across fixed route, Pulse rapid transit, and On Demand services. Thanks to the NITA Act, regional transit revenues are forecast to grow by over $900 million per year from 2025 to 2028. An investment of $150 million per year in suburban bus service would allow for a 50% increase in Pace's service. This would bring Pace in line with its closest peer agencies and make transit more useful to more people throughout Northeast Illinois.
The basics:
- Bus routes would be more frequent.
- Bus routes would serve more places.
- More buses would run every day, and later in the evening.
- Many routes would change; a few would be removed.
- People could use transit to go more places, in less time.
What has happened with the ReVision plan thus far?
Pace launched ReVision in late 2023. The ReVision Concepts Report, released in November 2024, included two very different visions for how Pace could improve service, if it received enough funding to increase service by 50%--a “ridership concept” focused on better frequency of service in the denser and more active areas of the region, and a “coverage concept” focused on extending service to as many places as possible into the suburbs, with very few frequency increases. Pace gathered feedback from the public on those options.
From November 2024 to January 2025, Pace presented the Network Concepts to the public through many channels, including workshops for stakeholders and a public survey. Pace took that input, adapted it to the new requirements and procedures provided for in new state legislation, and has now unveiled the Draft Network Plan in 2026 for another round of public input.
