Udstuen, Director Appointing Authority: County Board Chairmen, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will Counties Philip A. Pagano, Executive Director TO FRIENDS OF COMMUTER RAIL: Chairman’s Welcome to Metra’s 2002 Program and Budget. It Message describes good news such as further ridership growth, steady progress on our three New Start projects, and ongoing capital improvements including orders for badly needed new cars and locomotives. Meanwhile, the costs of providing safe, reliable, convenient and comfortable commuter rail service have steadily increased. Thus, our proposed 2002 operating budget envisions our first fare increase in six years, 5%, which will likely take effect June 1. I think it’s important to note that this will be only the fourth fare increase in the 18 years of Metra’s management of the Northeast Illinois commuter rail system. And it will be only the third one for operations. A fare hike that took effect in 1989 was dedicated solely to capital projects, namely the physical improvements that preserve and improve our serv- ice — and in turn reduce operating costs.
