Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future
August 2011 Executive Summary Executive Summary
Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future Overview What was envisioned in 1953 as a bypass to route interstate traffic around Chicago has become an integral hub for commerce and commuter travel and a system of roadways critical to the movement of goods, services and people throughout Northern Illinois. Now, it is time to plan for the future to ensure that our customers have a fully rebuilt, state‐of‐the‐art system that will provide better travel conditions and accommodate the needs of the traveling public well into the 21st century. The goals of the Illinois Tollway’s 2005 capital program were to rebuild much of the existing system, build the I‐355 south extension and implement open road tolling to ease congestion. That work is now 85 percent complete – with nearly $5 billion in improvements delivered on time and on budget. As required by the Toll Highway Act, the Illinois Tollway has developed a comprehensive 15‐year capital program to complete the rebuilding of the 52‐year‐old system and commit nearly $12 billion in transportation funding to improve mobility, relieve congestion, reduce pollution and link economies across Northern Illinois. Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future, maps out the Illinois Tollway’s next capital program for 2012 ‐ 2026. The new capital program for the Illinois Tollway will create jobs, stimulate local economies and provide the congestion relief customers want and need. The Illinois Tollway is committed to ensuring that this region remains competitive with other major cities in the U.S. and around the world and unlocking the economic potential of the region for years to come.
Capital Planning Process Throughout 2010, the Illinois Tollway Board of Directors conducted a comprehensive, year‐long public review of capital projects required to maintain the existing Tollway system, as well as more than $16 billion in potential new projects to improve regional mobility that the Illinois Tollway could play a role in. The criteria the Tollway Board of Directors used to evaluate future projects included: Maximizing existing assets Promoting economic development Consistency with regional transportation plans Fostering environmental responsibility Community support Financial sustainability To develop the new capital program, the Tollway’s leadership team worked to ensure that the voices of customers, business owners, community leaders, elected officials and environmental groups were brought to the table to join the discussion, along with transportation, planning and transit agencies. In addition, the Tollway convened a Strategic Advisory Team comprised of a diverse array of business, labor, transportation planning and advocacy and hospitality management interests. Last year, the Team examined Tollway policies, assessed opportunities and challenges and offered input to refocus the agency on the customers and communities it serves. In July 2011, the Tollway hosted five Capital Planning Forums with community, business, tourism and transportation planning leaders to present the Tollway’s future needs, funding challenges and emerging priority projects and then gather public input to assist the Tollway’s Board of Directors in putting together the capital program. More than 250
Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future
1 August 2011 people participated to assist the Tollway in setting transportation priorities for the region. Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi Lafleur also served as co‐chair of the Elgin O’Hare West Bypass Advisory Council. Leaders from various communities, local and state agencies, labor, business and others worked together with one common vision ‐ the Elgin O’Hare West Bypass will be a “Corridor of the Future.” Lastly, additional planning and community outreach efforts were launched in 2011, including the Tollway’s I‐90 Corridor Planning Council and the Illinois Route 53 Blue Ribbon Advisory Council – both of which are engaging stakeholders and the communities the Tollway serves in discussions about capital planning needs for the Tollway and improving transportation for the region.
The Program The basis for Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future, is a capital needs analysis performed by Tollway staff and consultants that included a comprehensive assessment of the current and future physical and operational characteristics of the entire Tollway system. Previous long‐range plans were reevaluated, the needs of communities and stakeholders were catalogued and new technology and transit opportunities were explored. This evaluation became the foundation of the new capital program, which will provide additional capacity, relieve congestion and meet the needs of the traveling public and the businesses and communities served by the Tollway into the next decade and beyond. The program outlined in this book includes $8.32 billion to fund necessary improvements to the existing Tollway system. These needs are programmed to be performed at the right time to keep the existing 286 miles in a state of good repair. Projects include: Reconstructing and widening the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I‐90) from the Tri‐State Tollway (I‐294) near O’Hare Airport to the I‐39 interchange in Rockford Reconstructing the central Tri‐State Tollway (I‐294) from 95th Street to Balmoral Avenue and the Edens Spur (I‐94) Preserving the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I‐88) Preserving the Veterans Memorial Tollway (I‐355) Repairing roads, bridges and maintenance facilities Other capital projects In addition, the program commits an additional $3.83 billion to new priority projects that focus on enhancing regional mobility including: Constructing a new interchange at I‐294/I‐57 and 147th Street ramps Constructing the Elgin O’Hare West Bypass, including completion of the Elgin O’Hare and construction of the West Bypass between I‐90 and I‐294, and rehabilitation and widening of the existing Elgin O’Hare Expressway Planning for transit options on the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I‐90) Planning for the Illinois Route 53 Corridor Planning for the Illiana Expressway Goals Save Drivers Time and Money Congestion is expensive for residents, businesses and governments. By limiting our ability to get around, it restricts people’s choices of where to live and work. It limits businesses’ access to skilled labor and reduces the reliability of freight shipments. Congestion wastes fuel and causes air pollution.
Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future
2 August 2011 The Chicago region has the nation’s worst road congestion, costing the Chicago area between $4 billion and $7 billion annually. And the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) projects 2.5 million more people will live and work in northeast Illinois by 2040. Capital program improvements on the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I‐90) corridor and the Elgin O’Hare West Bypass will improve regional travel and provide time and cost savings. Improvements built as part of the Elgin O’Hare West Bypass will accommodate three times as many vehicles per day as local roads carry now and customers will save customers 13 minutes on a 5‐mile trip from I‐290 to York Road. Additional capacity on I‐90 will accommodate 30,000 more vehicles each day, saving drivers 25 minutes when traveling between Elgin and the Kennedy Expressway. In addition, the intersection of the Tri‐State Tollway (I‐294) and I‐57 is one of two spots in the nation where two interstates cross but do not connect. Once the interchange is built, it is expected to serve more than 76,000 vehicles per day. Construction of the new interchange will provide access to local communities and direct freight access to Chicago’s south suburbs. The new interchange is expected to save drivers $4 million annually in fuel consumption. CMAP projects that ‐ collectively ‐ these three major projects will reduce vehicle miles traveled in congestion by 1 million miles daily, resulting in savings of more than $775 million annually due to reduced congestion and delays. Driving the Economic Engine From its roots as a rural bypass connecting Illinois with Indiana and Wisconsin, the Illinois Tollway has grown to become a key link in the Midwestern transportation system. The Tollway connects residents to their jobs and businesses with markets in the Chicago metropolitan area, the Great Lakes region and beyond. The Tollway’s capital program provides an opportunity to stimulate local economies and provide the infrastructure improvements necessary to continue to support the quick and efficient transport of goods, services and workers. This capital program will create more than 120,000 permanent jobs and add $21 billion to the economy. For every $1 billion of annual construction, more than 13,000 construction‐related jobs will be created. And, this capital program sustains those jobs over the next decade. Northern Illinois is one of the largest inland ports in the world and the Tollway is a primary freight route promoting intermodalism by connecting the area’s road network to O’Hare Airport and freight, truck and train facilities in Rochelle and Joliet, Illinois. More than 270 million tons of freight are currently carried on the Illinois Tollway annually. And, truck traffic is projected to increase by more than 70 percent over the next 30 years. Improving the overall ability to move freight through and within Illinois will help the state keep its competitive advantage in the global economy. Build a 21st Century Transportation System The Illinois Tollway’s system of four roadways is the heart of a larger transportation network that connects roadways, rail, ports and airports. Together they make up one of the most dynamic transportation networks in the nation. Building a 21st century system of roadways will ensure that the region retains the competitive advantage it has over other major cities in the U.S. and around the world. Without an innovative, multi‐modal transportation system capable of handling increased travel demand, our regional economy will suffer. Taking advantage of existing and new infrastructure – roads, transit, utilities and fiber ‐ will help create and enhance an interconnected, globally‐competitive economy. The Tollway’s capital program includes rebuilding the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I‐90) as a 21st century, state‐of‐ the‐art corridor linking Rockford to O’Hare, a new interchange to connect I‐294 to I‐57 – one of only two places in the nation where interstates cross but do not connect – and a new all‐electronic Elgin O’Hare West Bypass that can provide western access to one of the nation’s busiest airports. In addition, the program addresses the remaining Tollway

3 August 2011 system needs. It’s easy to see why these projects, taken together, can help jumpstart our economy and put us even further ahead of the competition. The new capital program provides us the opportunity to “think bigger” and consider what the Tollway and the region’s transportation system will look like 10 and 20 years from now. The program focuses on all‐electronic toll collection, ensuring that the Tollway remains a leader in technology and innovation. It is clear ‐ the Tollway cannot build its way out of congestion. Now is the time for the Illinois Tollway to step beyond its traditional role as a roadway agency and take the lead as a transportation agency supporting short‐ and long‐term options for roads, transit and rail. Job #1 – Take Care of Existing System The Illinois Tollway Board of Directors has made its priority clear – the existing system needs must come first. The last capital program (the Congestion‐Relief Program) addressed many of the Illinois Tollway system’s needs. Improvements delivered through 2010 include: conversion to open road tolling, extending the Veterans Memorial Tollway (I‐355) south from I‐55 to I‐80 in Will County and rebuilding and widening 120 miles of roads on the 286‐mile system. This new program commits funds to rebuilding the remaining critical pieces of the Illinois Tollway system – the 52‐year‐ old Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I‐90) from the Tri‐State Tollway (I‐294) to Rockford and more than 20 miles on the central Tri‐State Tollway (I‐294), as well as the Edens Spur (I‐94). Since they were first constructed, a combination of age, weather, use and heavy truckloads has taken its toll and the roads must be rebuilt and maintained to provide customers with safe and efficient travel. The Tollway will benefit from addressing existing system challenges sooner rather than later. Analysis indicates that moving reconstruction of I‐90 up to 2012 could save the Tollway as much as $400 million. Be the “Cleanest and Greenest” Program in history The Illinois Tollway’s “Building Green” efforts have proven that it is possible to minimize the environmental impact of new roadway construction by reducing, recycling and reusing materials. In the new capital program, all existing concrete and asphalt pavement will be reused as the base under new roadways and incorporated into materials used to build new shoulders and backfill. Recycling the existing road materials, coupled with the commitment to use reclaimed materials, not only saves the cost of purchasing new materials, but also eliminates the cost of hauling the old materials from the work site and disposal in landfills. In addition, the capital program maximizes the use of warm‐mix asphalt in place of hot‐mix asphalt for all shoulders and roadway resurfacing projects, reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption by about 20 percent during asphalt production. The Illinois Tollway is committed to incorporating renewable energy such as solar panels, wind turbines and geothermal systems into the new capital program projects. Through the integration of renewable energy and conservation strategies the Tollway will reduce energy use and costs. The Tollway will minimize environmental impacts by adopting mitigation and landscaping projects that have regional benefits and plan research initiatives, including monitoring and best management practices to improve nearby wetlands and waterways. In addition, the Tollway will develop construction plans for maintenance facilities and other buildings that meet standards for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and other green certifications.
