History of the Free Trolley Service

As a response to increased demand, a regularly scheduled Illinois-Grand Corridor TMA FREE Trolley service along the Illinois-Grand Corridor began on January 1, 1999.  This service is funded both by the MPEA and the four major developers in the corridor (John Buck Company, Centrum Properties , MCL Companies and, starting in 2005, Golub & Company).
