  • Metra Increasing Service on 7 More Lines Enhanced Schedules to Take Effect July 12
    News Release Metra Media Relations 312-322-6776 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Metra increasing service on 7 more lines Enhanced schedules to take effect July 12 CHICAGO (July 1, 2021) – Metra today posted schedules for expanded rush hour service to begin Monday, July 12 on seven additional lines to meet growing ridership. New schedules will take effect July 12 on the Heritage Corridor, Milwaukee District North and West, SouthWest Service, North Central Service and Union Pacific Northwest and West lines. On the same day, Metra will also launch previously announced new pilot schedules on the BNSF, Metra Electric and UP North lines that provide more off-peak options. A similar pilot schedule for the Rock Island Line is set to take effect on July 19. “My Metra is about listening to the needs of our riders. These new schedules are intended to help our customers transition back to a regular work commute providing them with more choices and flexibility,” said Metra CEO/Executive Director Jim Derwinski. “We expect ridership to continue to increase as the summer progresses and will continue to monitor conditions and make schedule adjustments that are responsive to our customers’ needs.” The new schedules can be viewed now at metrarail.com. In addition to new trains, there are minor adjustments to the timetables of some existing trains on some lines; customers are advised to review the new schedules to see if the timetables of their trains have changed. All the changes are highlighted on the new schedules. The guiding principles for Metra’s service restoration are to provide consistent and frequent service throughout the day; create easily understandable and memorable service patterns; implement new express service when possible in the peak travel periods; explore reverse-commute and new ridership markets; promote regional equity and create transfer opportunities within Metra and with other transit services.

    SOUTHWEST Service Enhancement Plan Final Report December 2015 Dear Reader, I am proud to present the Southwest Service Enhancement Plan, with recommendations to get you and your fellow community members where you need to go. This report provides a vision for future TriMet service in the Southwest portion of the region (for other areas, see www.trimet.org/future). The vision for future service in the Southwest Service Enhancement Plan is the culmination of many hours of meetings with our customers, neighborhood groups, employers, social service providers, educational institutions and stakeholders. Community members provided input through open house meetings, surveys, focus groups, and individual discussions. Extra effort was put into getting input from the entire community, especially youth, seniors, minorities, people with low incomes, and non-English speakers. Demographic research was used to map common trips, and cities and counties provided input on future growth areas. Lastly, TriMet staff coordinated closely with Metro’s South- west Corridor Plan process to ensure that both efforts complement one A note from another and expand transit in the southwest part of our region. TriMet The final result is a plan that calls for bus service that connects people to more places, more often, earlier, and later. The plan also recommends GeneralManager, improvements to the sidewalks and street crossings to support transit service and new community-job shuttles to serve areas that lack transit service because the demand is too low for traditional TriMet service to Neil McFarlane be economically viable. The service enhancement plans are not just visions of the future, but commitments to grow TriMet’s system.

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.

  • Chicago to St. Louis High-Speed Rail Tier 1 Final Environmental Impact Statement: Volume I
    Section TRANSPORTATION 6 IMPACTS 6. Transportation Impacts6. Transportation 6.0 Transportation Impacts This section describes the transportation impacts expected with the No‐Build and Build Alternatives. The Service Development Plan and expected travel benefits are presented. Year 2030 ridership projections and operating revenues for passenger rail service are presented for each alternative. Projected annual person trips for air, bus, and automobile intercity travel are also presented. In addition to the intercity passenger information, impacts to future freight and commuter rail operations and vehicular traffic are discussed, including impacts from construction and vehicular impacts associated with the changes proposed at the highway‐railroad at‐grade crossings in the corridor. Generally, transportation impacts are expected to be the same for the Build Alternatives (Alternatives A and B and Preferred Alternatives C and D). Therefore, much of the discussion in this chapter compares impacts between the No‐Build and Build Alternatives. Where there are expected differences amongst the Build Alternatives, additional documentation is provided for each of the four Build Alternatives. 6.1 Service Development Plan In accordance with FRA High Speed Rail guidance referred to in 74 Fed. Reg. 29900 (June 23, 2009), this section outlines the Service Development Plan (SDP) for the Build Alternatives (Alternatives A and B and Preferred Alternatives C and D) for the Chicago – St. Louis corridor described by this Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement. The following items are addressed within this subsection: Intercity travel options Service levels/frequencies Capital program needs Ridership/revenue forecasted, including number of passengers and boardings/disembarking at stations 6.1.1 Intercity Travel Options Intercity travel by auto, bus, and air represent alternative travel options to high‐speed intercity rail.
