New Proposed Countywide Paratransit System to be Introduced at Upcoming Informational Meeting
For more than a decade, Lake County along with communities, townships and transit partners have been evaluating and working to enhance transportation options for seniors and people with disabilities. This is often referred to as "paratransit."
The Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) is excited to introduce a proposed new countywide coordinated paratransit system at an informational public meeting starting at 4 p.m. on Aug. 4. The new service aims to provide borderless countywide paratransit service, meaning users can get transportation to any area of Lake County for work, shopping, medical appointments, and more.
The public is invited to attend the informational meeting and we encourage feedback on the proposed new paratransit service. Information gathered will assist LCDOT in the development of the final service that could begin as soon as 2022 pending Lake County Board approval.
The meeting, which will include a presentation and opportunity to ask questions, will be held both in person and virtually through Zoom. A recording of the meeting will be posted on LCDOT's website.
