DOWNERS GROVE FEEDER ROUTES

Feeder network developed by village of Downers Grove, and known as Grove Commuter Shuttle. Originally three routes introduced in 1974, Downers Grove was one of the first suburbs to introduce rush hour feeder bus service to and from the commuter rail stations.

Operated completely independently of Pace until 2014, with its own fleet of buses based at the municipal garage. Under Pace, service was operated under contract by First Student/Westmont. All service suspended effective 4/13/2020 due to covid-19 pandemic.
