Pace Ridership

Ridership figures for Pace's bus, paratransit, and vanpool systems.

Data for the bus system includes daily average ridership figures by bus route for a given month (January through December) and day type (Weekday, Saturday, or Sunday). These figures are calculated by dividing the total boardings on a route by the number of days (for a particular day type) in a month.

Data for the paratransit and vanpool systems include total ridership figures by service in a month.

Data is available from 2003 through the current year. Ridership reports are sent to the RTA by Pace staff on a monthly basis.

It should be noted that the ridership figures for several routes will show 0 due to their services being suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic.
