Pace asks travelers to prepare for snow and cold, allow more time for trips
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL – In response to the National Weather Service Winter Storm Warning, Pace has issued a weather alert advising those who must travel to prepare for severe weather and slower travel times. Pace encourages passengers to postpone non-essential travel if they are able. Pace’s maintenance team is prepared to clear garages and bus terminals and all available personal have been called to operate service. However, due to the low visibility and extreme cold forecasted, this winter weather event may slow traffic and cause service delays. Please be cautious as you travel.
