Pace also operates a vanpool programs in DuPage County - Pace VIP Program. Vanpools are a cost effective way to commute for employees who have consistent working hours. Vanpools include groups of 5 to 15 people commuting together in one vehicle, and can serve more than one worksite. Generally, vanpools operate like a large carpool, with a volunteer driver driving the van and riders who pay fares based on commute distance and total number of riders within the group. For an example, four people sharing a van and commuting 20 miles per day would pay $87/month, while 13 riders in the same van, for the same distanc, would pay $54/month. The vanpool fare covers fuel, maintenance, insurance tolls, cellular phone, roadside assistance and van washes.

Pace offers three vanpool options for commuters under the VIP Program:
