Oak Brook to offer shuttle service from Metra station
Tamryn Hennessy
Tamryn Hennessy   program director for the Greater Oak Brook Chamber of Commerce  said the shuttle service has been a consideration for a few years  after employers commented on transportation needs as a response to a survey.
 Hennessy  said  she  has spoken with representatives of 10 properties with multiple businesses along the route. The business partners will provide up to 20 percent of the shuttle service costs during a yearlong pilot program  and the RTA will provide the remainder.
 Hennessy  said the shuttle service will make two or three trips each morning and afternoon and will accommodate 12-14 people per trip.
"Having a demand to handle more people would be a great problem to have "  she  said. "We'll address that if it happens."
