Hello all, 

Please see the latest Passenger Alert below and spread the news regarding
two new and accessible Chicago currency exchange locations to load value on
TAP cards and purchase ADA Paratransit tickets.    If you have questions,
please don't hesitate to contact me.  Wishing everyone a happy Easter.

After the recent closure of the Currency Exchange at 777 N. LaSalle, Pace
has been working to make available to you new locations at which you can
load your Taxi Access Program (TAP) card or buy ADA Paratransit tickets. We
are pleased to announce that there are now two fully accessible Currency
Exchanges in Chicago at which you can make those purchases in person--one on
the north side and one on the south side. They are:

*	Kedzie & Irving Currency Exchange, 3158 W. Irving Park Road,
Chicago, (773) 539-8991
*	79th & Vincennes Currency Exchange, 353 W. 79th Street, Chicago,
(773) 483-6735

As a reminder, the easiest and most affordable way to load value onto your
TAP card is  <http://www.TAPandMD.com> online, and the easiest and most
affordable way to buy ADA paratransit tickets is also
<https://ticket.pacebus.com/OA_HTML/ibeCZzpHome.jsp> online. 

If you're not yet enrolled in TAP, please consider it! The TAP fare is only
$3 (less than the ADA paratransit fare) for a taxi ride of up to $30 as of
May 1, 2019. Furthermore, TAP riders don't have to book rides one day in
advance--they can just hail a cab on the street or call for a same-day
pickup. For more information, see  <http://www.TAPandMD.com>
