When Pace entered into the agreement with CTA and Cubic to develop and install the Ventra System for Pace it was determined that a significant portion of the development costs for Pace participation would be amortized over the 10 year life of the project. This cost known as the "base component fee" amounts to $100,360 per month for the 10 year period. ICE Funding will be used to pay the monthly base component fee for the first two years of project inclusion in the ICE program as they will support the development of innovative new technologies that enhance the customer experience while improving the coordination of services between the service boards. Funding: 2015 ICE: $1,200,000

Funds directed for these service enhancements involve over 14 routes that improve coordination, schedule adherence and on-time performance. Funding: 2015 ICE: $2,133,000

This project will support bus pad installations along Randall Road as part of the Route 801 service changes. Funding: 2008 ICE: $78,508

Pace will use the ICE funds to develop a Command Center which will utilize technologies to more aggressively monitor/oversee the delivery of services by the twelve different regional ADA/dial-a-ride contract providers. Having this center will give Pace a technological advantage in undertaking additional oversight to improve service and efficiency. Pace also is installing Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology for trip notifications, web-based technology for trip cancellations and confirmations, and Opti-Run technology to maximize the efficiency of the run structures. Funding: 2011 ICE: $272,647

The scope includes replacement of the current IBS equipment, which includes 725 units of Intelligent Vehicle Logic Units (IVLU), Mobile Data Terminals (MDT), antennas, interface cabling, adapter cables, radio cables, and installation & conversion kits, replacement of 34 access points, and the purchase of two MCC-7100 dispatch radios. This project will be phased in over three years using ICE funding. Pace will award a single contract for the whole scope, but will award funding as it becomes available over the three year period. Funding: 2017 ICE: $1,660,000
