With
the price of everything going up, it is time to consider public
transportation. It only costs one $1 to get where you want to
go.
A single person, commuting alone by car, switching a 20-mile
round trip commute to existing public transportation, can reduce
their annual CO2 emissions by 4,800 pounds per year, equaling a 10%
reduction in all greenhouse gases produced by a typical two-adult,
two-car household. Eliminating one car and taking public
transportation is a savings of up to 30% carbon
dioxide emissions. Public transportation is good for the
environment.
This change also has a positive impact on your finances. You
can get where you need to go for a fraction of the price of
driving vehicle.
Use this link to calculate your savings if you took public
transportation instead of your personal vehicle.
River Valley Metro operates 11 routes to get you where
you want to go. This website provides our schedules, maps
and fares, as well as provides additional information about the
transit district. River Valley Metro serves Aroma
Park, Kankakee, Bradley, Bourbonnais, Manteno and
Manteno Township, and has a commuter
route to University Park to link up with the Metra to downtown
Chicago.
River Valley Metro knows it is a privilege to serve you! Our
mission is to be the public service leader for today and tomorrow.
We do not want to be just a bus system. We want to be THE
bus system that everyone wants to emulate.
