The faster route: Pace speeding up service with Pulse Dempster Line

Those traveling on bus from Evanston to O’Hare can get there faster, thanks to grant funding through CMAP.

State and local leaders recently celebrated the new Pulse Dempster Line with Pace Suburban Bus officials in Des Plaines.

The expanded service will provide limited stops, accessible trip information, and amenities such as WiFi and USB charging ports. Once the service fully launches, buses will be scheduled to arrive every 15 minutes between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

The purple Pulse buses will feature transit signal priority technology, which will extend green lights and minimize red lights. Sunday-only service was launched August 13, with full daily service expected to start later this year.

The project was funded by a $10 million Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program grant through CMAP.
