The township has partnered with Pace to provide Dial-a-Ride service for seniors (age 60+) and disabled persons age 16+ who reside in Shields Township. Registration with the township is required. Once registered, the person may call Pace 24 hours in advance to reserve a curb-to-curb ride to anywhere within Shields and to a number of other locations outside Shields Township. Hours of service are 6 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. View/download the brochure below for more information. Or, if you have questions about service destinations, registration, and how to use the Pace reservation system, feel free to contact the Office of the Supervisor directly.
