Ride in Kane: Free Rides to VA Clinics and the Veterans Treatment Court

What the Commission's page offers. Ride in Kane, run by the Kane County Division of Transportation with Pace, gives Kane County residents enrolled in VA health care free round-trip, curb-to-curb rides, 24 hours a day, to the Aurora VA Clinic (161 S. Lincolnway, North Aurora), the Hoffman Estates VA Clinic (4885 Hoffman Boulevard), the Aurora Vet Center (750 Shoreline Drive) and the Veterans Treatment Court at the Judicial Center in St. Charles. Register with the Commission with a photo ID showing a Kane County address and a Veterans Health ID Card or other proof of VA enrollment; registered riders get the Rider's Guide and book rides with Pace. What is changing. The Commission's annual report says the sponsorship is a pilot paid by the American Rescue Plan through fiscal 2026 (ending November 30, 2026), and that "due to consolidation of programming by Pace, the need for our sponsorship will cease with the expiration of American Rescue Plan funds". The County's 2026 agreement with Pace moves Ride in Kane registration to a single system run by Pace, and in August 2026 the County Board moved the $57,309.70 left on the Commission's ride agreement to ARPA administration. Veterans remain one of the groups Ride in Kane serves under the Pace agreement, but whether the rides stay free is not stated; ask the Commission (630-232-3550) or Ride in Kane before relying on a free ride after November 2026.
