qKWVo_Cswzr4/s/1366274044/br/113491419501-l> www.pacebus.com/streaming. The
proposed budget includes a fully funded operational budget for fixed route
and paratransit services, a robust capital plan, and no fare increase.

If approved, the budget will fund $7 million for new fixed route service, $5
million for regional partnerships with transportation network companies, and
an additional $3 million for demand response service.  The proposal also
includes the largest infrastructure expansion in the agency's history with
an investment of more than $300 million in capital projects (thanks to
Rebuild Illinois), including a $10 million electric bus pilot at Waukegan's
North Division. The continuation of Fair Transit Cook County Pilot Project
service improvements on Pace Route 352 Halsted and the discontinuation of
Pace Route 602 Higgins - Salem - Cedarcrest are also proposed.

Registration is required for those who would like to provide live comments
during a virtual public hearing. Those wishing to offer public comment must
register at least 24 hours in advance of the hearing start time and must log
in to the meeting no later than 10 minutes after the hearing start time.
Live commenters must provide an email address to receive instructions on how
to access the public hearing on Zoom. Registration links are available by
