MCRIDE
MCRide is a great way to get around McHenry County. Whether you need transportation for work, school, shopping, or medical appointments, MCRide provides an affordable and flexible way to travel! As a dial-a-ride program, MCRide service is “on-demand“ and buses do not travel in a fixed route each day. Riders schedule their trips in advance and the vehicle provides curb-to-curb service from the rider’s desired pick-up and drop-off destinations. MCRide is a shared-ride service, so the vehicle may make stops for other passengers.
