PROGRAMS IN THE HINSDALE LAKE TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD
FROM SIDEWALK AND LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE
PILOT RIDESHARE ACCESS PROGRAM
(ESTIMATED COUNTY COST $500,000.00)
resolution
WHEREAS, the DuPage County Board heretofore adopted Resolution DT-R-0042-24 on November 12, 2024, granting approval for the County of DuPage (hereinafter referred to as COUNTY) to enter an agreement with Pace, the Suburban Bus Division of the Regional Transportation Authority (hereinafter referred to as PACE), to implement a Pilot Rideshare Access Program (hereinafter, “RAP”) for the Hinsdale Lake Terrace and adjacent neighborhoods in unincorporated DuPage County, in order to facilitate mobility, safety, and economic development (“AGREEMENT”); and
WHEREAS, since the execution of the aforementioned AGREEMENT (COUNTY Resolution DT-R-0042-24), the RAP has proven to be very successful with a large number of community members utilizing the service to travel to destinations surrounding Hinsdale Lake Terrace, and the actual cost to the COUNTY to fund the RAP has exceeded the estimated costs; and
WHEREAS, additional funds are required to continue operating this program for the fiscal year 2025 and the funds previously approved by the County Board for this service need to be paid from a General Fund source rather than a motor fuel tax source; and
WHEREAS, the County Board previously approved $500,000.00 of General Funds to design and construct a sidewalk and lighting project along 91st Street to serve the Hinsdale Lake Terrace neighborhood, which monies would be best used to fund the RAP for fiscal year 2025; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Transportation, after receiving direction from the DuPage County Transportation Committee, is requesting that PACE renegotiate the underlying agreement for service with its rideshare service partner, Uber, according to the rates and terms recommended in the Division’s memorandum (reflected in EXHIBIT A, attached hereto) for eventual review and approval by the DuPage Couty Board; and
WHEREAS, the County of DuPage, by and through its Division of Transportation, endeavors to continue to operate the RAP program in Fiscal Year 2026 under the new rates and terms between PACE and its rideshare service partner provided that adequate funds from an eligible source are included in the County’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the previously authorized $500,000.00 for use on the Hinsdale Lake Terrace Sidewalk and Lighting project shall be redesignated to fund the RAP; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that DuPage County, by and through its Division of Transportation, is hereby authorized and directed to negotiate the revised rates and terms for the RAP with PACE and to bring forward the revised agreement to the County Board for review and approval.
end
Enacted and approved this 26th day of August, 2025 at Wheaton, Illinois.
