How to Get There
Pace offers several convenient transportation options throughout DuPage County. Riders can use fixed-route buses that follow regular schedules across local communities, or try Pace On Demand, a flexible shared-ride service available in zones like Wheaton-Winfield and Naperville-Aurora that can be booked by app, online, or phone. Dial-a-Ride programs provide curb-to-curb trips through local partnerships, while ADA Paratransit serves riders with disabilities who can’t use fixed routes. For commuters, Pace Vanpool offers cost-sharing groups using Pace-owned vans—fuel, insurance, and maintenance included—and VanGo provides quick, flat-fare connections between Metra or CTA stations and nearby workplaces.
