This service is sponsored by the six townships, with assistance from the Lake County Coordinated Transportation Services Committee (LCCTSC), Lake County, and Pace Suburban Bus. The service is funded in part by grants from the Regional Transportation Authority. Local matching funds for these federal grants are provided by Lake County and Pace Suburban Bus.
