Note: Ride subsidies will not roll-over from month to month. If your metered fare is more than $8.00, you are responsible for the remaining amount, as well as any tips you wish to include at the time of travel. The ESC may not be used as a tip. Taxi companies will only be reimbursed for the metered fare.
If an ESC is lost or stolen, please notify the Village of Vernon Hills immediately.
The first ESC is provided at no cost; replacement cards cost $5.00 per card.
