McHenry Co Dial-A-Ride (MCRide)
The City of Harvard has partnered dial-a-ride services with McHenry County and other communities within the county to participate in a coordinated service called MCRide. Under the MCRide Program, service levels in Harvard have expanded to provide greater mobility to Harvard residents and provide transportation out of town within the MCRide service area.
Senior Services Transportation
The Senior Services Transportation Program is offered to senior citizens residing in McHenry County. When other transportation options are not available, our volunteer program provides rides to and from doctor's offices, dialysis, shopping and other miscellaneous appointments. Our door to door program matches those in need with carefully screened volunteers who are kind, courteous and willing to take seniors to those needed appointments. There is no set fee; however, you are asked to make a donation according to your needs.
ADA Paratransit Service
Pace provides pre-arranged curb-to-curb service for persons with disabilities whose eligibility has been determined by the regional certification process.
