Notice to Chicago ADA Passengers

Pace regrets that we are having problems with the computer software that schedules your ADA trip. Please accept our sincere apologies. We are working day and night with our software vendor to correct these problems.

You can help us by booking your rides between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. This will reduce strain on the scheduling system until the computer issues can be resolved.

We sincerely apologize to all who have been inconvenienced. While we in no way minimize these problems, we are seeing overall improvements as work progresses with the software issues. On-time performance has increased each day, and is currently over 80 percent the last few days.

Thank you for your patience and assistance as we work to correct these issues
