National Express Transit renews seven-year paratransit contract with Pace

Dec. 30, 2019
The contract includes a three-year extension and reflects the company’s partnership with Pace.

Pace Suburban Bus (Pace) has awarded CDT, owned and operated by National Express Transit (NEXT) a seven-year renewal contract which includes a three-year extension to service Pace’s elderly and disabled customers throughout the Chicagoland area.

NEXT says the renewal is based in part on the company’s proven partnership with Pace and its customer service and innovation.

Pace is one of the largest paratransit systems in the United States and is NEXT’s biggest operation in North America. The service will be housed at the company’s new flagship facility in Chicago, Ill.

NEXT is a North American company and helps get paratransit systems’ millions of passengers to their destinations safely and on-time, which the company says is accomplished through safety technology it uses to ensure safe vehicles and drivers.

“We are very excited to continue our ongoing partnership with Pace in our hometown of Chicago. We are honored to have earned Pace’s trust and will continue to work tirelessly to provide high quality transportation to Pace customers,” said Judith Crawford, CEO of National Express Transit.
