Pace Service - Will County

Ride Pace in Will County.

Fixed Route Service

Pace’s fixed bus routes carry millions of riders per month and serve more than 210 municipalities in the six-county area of Northeastern Illinois, including Will County. This traditional bus service operates on set schedules along designated routes and is open to the general public. Every Pace bus is designed to be fully accessible for everyone. Even if you are eligible for ADA Paratransit Service or dial-a-ride, you can still take advantage of the fixed route buses at a lower cost and without the need for an advanced reservation. You can access details about the bus tracker, schedules, passenger updates, connections to trains and buses, as well as information on fares, transfers, and park-n-ride options for each route after completing a search.  

Search Bus Schedules, Routes and Maps

View the RTA System map to explore Pace service by county as well as connections to Metra service.  You can also search our bus schedules by entering a specific city or street name in the search tool.  For best results, remember to use quotation marks for phrases that consist of two or more words.

On Demand is Available to Everyone.

On Demand

Pace On Demand is a convenient shared-ride service within designated travel zones. Service is available to everyone. You can make reservations up to a week ahead or as close as ten minutes before your desired pick-up time, depending on availability. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

To Get Started:

  1. Check if your commute falls within the West Joliet zone
  2. Book a ride through the Pace On Demand app, online or by giving us a call.

Dial-a-Ride

The Dial-a-Ride service offers pre-arranged curb-to-curb transportation designed in partnership with local communities. The specifics, such as service areas, fares, scheduling, geographic boundaries, and who can ride differ depending on the location.   

To Get Started:

Discover Dial-a-Ride Services: Will County, get registered, check the fares and book your ride.

Eligible Riders Can Arrange for Service by Phone or Online.

ADA Paratransit

The ADA paratransit service is mandated by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and is designed for individuals whose disabilities or health conditions prevent them from using CTA and/or Pace fixed route services for part or all their travel.

Vanpoolers Drive Together in a Pace Van.

Vanpool

Head to your job in a Pace-owned van—join an existing vanpool or start your own group. Primary drivers may ride free and can also use the van for personal errands.  Pace Vanpools can reduce costs since they include fuel, maintenance, insurance, roadside assistance and more. Use our Rideshare Savings calculator to see your savings. 

Vanpools are compatible with hybrid, reduced work weeks and standard shifts. Rider monthly fares are based on distance, ride frequency, and group size. With grants and options like tax benefits and employer subsidies, vanpool can be even more budget friendly.

  • Discover where you can join a vanpool.
