Pace is the suburban bus operator in the Chicago area. It operates the public buses in the suburbs north, west and east of Chicago. Pace's headquarters are in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
The six counties that Pace serves are Cook, Lake, Will, Kane, McHenry and Du Page. Some of Pace's buses go to Chicago. In some areas, notably Evanston, Pace and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) both serve the community.
Many of Pace's hubs are located at CTA stations (especially terminals) and Metra stations. Unlike CTA buses, Pace buses generally have longer headways, usually around 30 minutes. Due to its broad geographic service area, Pace is split into 10 divisions from which it operates the buses.
Pace was created in 1983 by the RTA Act, which established the formula that provides funding to CTA, Metra and Pace.
