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. -

Prioritizing Sidewalk Investment Near Transit Supports a More Accessible Transportation System
JAN. 15, 2020 PRIORITIZING SIDEWALK INVESTMENT NEAR TRANSIT SUPPORTS A MORE ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM Key takeaways The new CMAP sidewalk inventory can be used to identify areas where sidewalk additions are most needed in order to improve pedestrian access to transit. Sidewalks can have the biggest impact when they connect transit with existing amenities and in areas with significant population or employment. In all six counties, communities have the opportunity to improve sidewalks near Metra stations. On the CTA system, the greatest impact can be achieved through targeted and prioritized investment near rail stations with high job density and where existing infrastructure caters to vehicles rather than pedestrians. Executive Summary Sidewalk inventory supports data driven investment decisions CMAP’s regional sidewalk inventory offers the first opportunity to comprehensively analyze sidewalk availability near transit in northeastern Illinois. Making transit more competitive is a key recommendation in the region’s long- range plan, ON TO 2050. Increasing transit ridership improves air quality by reducing the number of vehicles on the road, reduces highway congestion, and connects people to jobs, education, entertainment, and other amenities. In addition, public transit access is especially crucial for those who cannot drive or do not have access to a car. Ensuring that riders can safely access bus stops and trains stations on foot is a critical way the region can make transit safer and more competitive with other modes. Chicago -
