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.

Vanpool

With a Pace Vanpool, you can regularly commute to your job in a Pace-owned van. Vanpooling begins by joining an existing group or forming a new one. If you are the primary driver, you can participate for free depending on your commuting needs and circumstances. Plus, you'll have the added benefit of using the Pace van for personal errands. This program can significantly reduce your commuting costs, as it covers fuel, maintenance, insurance, roadside assistance, and more.

Use our Rideshare Savings calculator to see how much you can save.

Vanpool riders enjoy an affordable monthly fare which is based on factors like distance, frequency of rides and group size. With the help of grant dollars, Pace can provide flexible vanpool fares for hybrid, reduced work weeks and standard shifts. Riders can boost their savings by inviting more commuters to their group, serving as a backup driver, or taking advantage of tax-free commuter benefit or employer subsidies.

To Get Started:

Pace has other vanpool programs for non-profits, corporations and agencies who serve people with disabilities. See PaceVanpool.com for details.
