Township Riders Initiative Program-"T.R.I.P"
A transportation program in Northwest Suburban Cook County is available to residents of five area townships - Elk Grove, Hanover, Palatine, Schaumburg, and Wheeling. The Township Riders Initiative Program, or T.R.I.P, is an intertownship transportation program for medical purposes, created to serve the needs of area senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
The cost is based on a $5.00 fee per township line crossed with a cap of $10.00 per one-way trip. Riders are able to bring one service animal or one caregiver. Riders may travel anywhere within Barrington, Elk Grove, Hanover, Palatine, Schaumburg, Maine, and Wheeling townships, as well to the medical campuses of Stroger Cook County Hospital, Hines Veteran's Hospital in Maywood, and the VA Hospital in Elgin.
PACE is the transit carrier and will provide a lift-equipped van. Funding is through the State of Illinois. For further information, please call the Schaumburg Township Transportation Department at (847) 882-1929.

I am sure you can see the value in this program to senior and others in the village alike. It's definately cheaper than a cab with rising gas prices and still gives the rider their independence to get around on their own.
Looking to buy or sell a home in the Schaumburg Area? I'm a 25+ year sales veteran of the area and would love to help you find a new home or move along to another new area.
