Pace is the suburban bus division of the Regional Transportation Authority (Illinois) in the Chicago metropolitan area It was created in 1983 by the RTA Act, which established the formula that provides funding to Chicago Transit Authority Metra and Pace. Paces headquarters are in Arlington Heights, Illinois Pace is governed by a 13 member Board of Directors, 12 of which are current and former suburban mayors, with the other being the Commissioner of the Chicago] Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, to represent the citys paratransit riders.lt;/ref> The six counties that Pace serves are Cook County, Illinois Lake County, Illinois Will County, Illinois Kane County, Illinois McHenry County, Illinois and DuPage County, Illinois Some of Paces buses also go to Chicago and Indiana In some areas, notably Evanston, Illinois and Skokie, Illinois Pace and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) both serve the community. Many of Paces hubs are located at CTA rail stations (especially terminals) and Metra stations. CTA and Pace transit cards are valid on Pace, but Pace cards and passes are not valid on the CTA. Additionally, since CTA no longer issues transfers with cash bus fares, it no longer accepts Pace transfers, either, but Pace transfers remain good between Pace routes.lt;/ref> Pace honors some, but not all CTA passes; CTA and Pace have established a new joint 7-day pass, in substitution for the CTA 7-day pass, which Pace no longer accepts.lt;/ref> Metra fares are completely separate. Pace buses generally have longer headways (often between 20 and 60 minutes) than CTA buses. Due to its broad geographic service area, service is provided by 9 operating divisions, as well as under agreements with several municipalities and private operators (school bus and motor coach companies). All Pace buses are wheelchair accessible and have racks accommodating two bicycle , available during all hours of operation. Pace buses provide service from the suburbs to various special events in the city, such as Routes #282 & #779 for Chicago Cubs games, Routes #773, #774 and #775 for Chicago White Sox games, Routes #237, #768, #769 and #776 for Chicago Bears games, Route #222 provides extra service to the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois for events scheduled there, Route #284 to Six Flags Great America and Route #387 for events at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois lt;/ref> Pace is responsible for Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 paratransit service in its service area, and, effective July 1, 2006, for paratransit service in Chicago.lt;/ref>.Pace also coordinates various Dial-a-Ride projects, usually sponsored by various municipalities and townships.lt;/ref> One of the largest is Ride DuPage, sponsored by Du Page County Human Services.lt;/ref> Pace states that it is the nations largest paratransit service provider, providing approximately 17,000 daily trips on paratransit, dial-a-ride and ADvAntage vanpools.Pace. Moving Forward(newsletter), July 23, 2010. Pace operates a Vanpool Incentive Program, where groups save by commuting together in a van owned and maintain by Pace and driven by one of the participants.lt;/ref> There is also a Municipal Vanpool Program, under which Pace provides a van to a municipality, for any public transport tion purpose (such as demand response service for senior citizens .lt;/ref> Pace is not an acronym but a marketing name.lt;/ref> Image:PaceParatransit5868.jpg
