UPDATE: Virtual Informational Meeting On New Proposed Countywide Paratransit System
With Lake County experiencing "substantial" COVID-19 community transmission, the Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) is shifting its upcoming informational meeting to introduce a new countywide coordinated paratransit system to an entirely virtual format. The virtual meeting starts at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 4. More information can be found below:
Meeting Details
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."
LCDOT is excited to introduce a proposed new countywide coordinated paratransit system at a virtual informational public meeting. 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.
LCDOT will provide similar presentations on the proposed new service at 4 and 5 p.m. The public can attend either presentation. Registration to attend the virtual meeting is required.
Date: Wednesday, August 4
Time: Presentations at 4 and 5 pm

The virtual informational meeting will be accessible to individuals with a lack of internet access. The public may view and participate in the live virtual meeting on Aug. 4 at the Lake County Division of Transportation, 600 W. Winchester Road, Libertyville.
LCDOT encourages the public to attend the virtual informational meeting and provide 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.
We look forward to hearing you feedback. The public comment period will run from Aug. 4 - 18. An online feedback form will be posted on LCDOT's website after the meeting. The meeting will be recorded and posted online at lakecountyil.gov/transportation.
