What happened
Pace debuted its ReVision plan, a strategy designed to transform suburban bus service across its six-county region. The plan includes expanding routes into rural McHenry communities and strengthening connections with Metra. Officials stated that every county in Pace’s service area would receive at least a 45% increase in service, with a goal of 50% overall growth in bus service.

Why it matters
The ReVision plan aims to increase ridership by increasing bus frequency and reducing transit deserts in far-flung communities. By improving regional transit connectivity, the plan could drive higher demand for Metra services into Chicago.
