This complex system is comprised of 11 rail lines operating on 488 route miles, including 1,100 miles of track, 800 bridges, and 2,000 signals. Each weekday, 685 trains serve 242 stations, including five stations in Chicago’s Central Business District (CBD), and provide approximately 270,000 trips. Metra’s service area is at the center of the nation’s rail network, and Metra commuter service must be closely coordinated with the movements of around 600 freight and passenger trains also operating in the Chicago region each day. Metra: State of the System provides a broad view of Metra’s infrastructure, operating environment, and customer base, to help readers gain perspective on the complexities of Metra’s system and provide context for agency strategic planning efforts. Following chapters on Metra’s origins, physical assets and CBD market, the document explores the Metra system on a line-by-line basis. Line-specific chapters include historical information about each corridor as well as descriptions of the line’s infrastructure, particular operating limitations, and service and station characteristics. Past, present, and projected future ridership demand, including growing reverse commute and non-downtown markets, is examined. Line chapters include a demographic analysis of each fare zone in the corridor and discuss improvements that have been made to track and signal infrastructure, station facilities, and parking. Metra: State of the System focuses on Metra’s existing system, and builds on Metra’s Future Agenda for Suburban Transportation (1992), which emphasized the agency’s long-term investment needs and proposed expansion projects. This document also complements Metra’s annual Program and Budget Book, which provides a near-term view of agency activities and planned investments. 2 | METRA STATE OF THE SYSTEM — INTRODUCTION HISTORICAL OVERVIEW 2017 Average trip length: 22.4 miles The Northeastern Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corporation (NIRCRC) 2017 Average fare paid: is a public corporation of the State of Illinois that was authorized by statute $4.60 and created by Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) ordinance in 1980. Source: Ridership Trends Report, Dec. 2017 The corporation, commonly known as Metra, is the primary operator of commuter passenger rail services in the six-county Chicago metropolitan Number of stations: area in Northeast Illinois. 242 System route length: The RTA was formed in 1974, initially to provide financial assistance to 488 miles troubled passenger rail operators and suburban bus companies throughout Number of weekday trains: the region. To keep the patchwork of public transportation providers running, 685 voters in the six-county Chicago area, comprised of Cook, DuPage, Kane, 2017 On-time performance*: Lake, McHenry and Will Counties, authorized the RTA’s creation. 95.6% * On-time Performance Report, Dec. 2017 From the beginning, the RTA’s mission has been to coordinate and assist public transportation and to serve as the conduit for state and federal subsidies needed to keep the system operational. The RTA did not at first directly operate commuter rail service (or any other transit service), but paid private railroads to do so under purchase of service agreements (PSAs). The RTA, along with the suburban Mass Transit Districts, began to reverse decades of disinvestment in the overall commuter rail system, primarily by buying new locomotives and cars. However, with the bankruptcies of the Rock Island and the Milwaukee Road together with the financial difficulties of the Illinois Central, the Illinois General Assembly gave the RTA the authority to directly own and operate (through NIRCRC) commuter railroad operations and the RTA eventually bought the tracks of those railroads over which commuter trains operated. In 1983, the General Assembly reorganized the RTA into a planning and financial oversight agency (rather than a direct operator of transit service) and created the Commuter Rail Division (CRD) and the Suburban Bus Division (Pace Suburban Bus). Along with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), previously established in 1947, the three agencies (now known as service boards) fell under the financial oversight umbrella of the RTA. The CRD is responsible for commuter rail throughout the six Northeast Illinois counties, Pace for the suburban bus and regional ADA paratransit system, and the CTA continues to be responsible for rapid transit and bus service, primarily within the city of Chicago. Under this arrangement, each service board is responsible for day-to-day operations and maintenance, setting fare policy, and planning for services and facilities for their respective systems. The service mark “Metra” is co-registered and controlled by NIRCRC and CRD. NIRCRC operates as a separate corporation but is governed by the Commuter Rail Board (CRB), which also governs the CRD. The CRB is responsible for the commuter passenger rail operations, capital investments, finances, fare policy, and service and facilities planning for the system. Revenues come METRA STATE OF THE SYSTEM — INTRODUCTION | 3 from local sales taxes in each of the six counties in which Metra operates, farebox recovery, and capital credits and leases. Of the Metra CRB’s 11 members, five are appointed by County Board chairs or chief executives from the collar counties, four are appointed by the suburban Cook County board members, one is appointed by the Cook County President, and one is appointed by the Mayor of Chicago. The CRB’s Chairman is elected by the members of the CRB. The Metra workforce is made up of over 4,400 employees, including union members, management staff, and employees of privately owned railroads operating under PSAs with Metra.

  • Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant

    Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant

    Union Depot Tower Union Depot Tower (U.D. Tower) was completed in 1914 as part of a municipal project to improve rail transportation through Joliet, which included track elevation of all four railroad lines that went through downtown Joliet and the construction of a new passenger station to consolidate the four existing passenger stations into one. A result of this overall project was the above-grade intersection of 4 north-south lines with 4 east-west lines. The crossing of these rail lines required sixteen track diamonds. A diamond is a fixed intersection between two tracks. The purpose of UD Tower was to ensure and coordinate the safe and timely movement of trains through this critical intersection of east-west and north-south rail travel. UD Tower housed the mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection, also known as an interlocking plant. Interlocking Plant Interlocking plants consisted of the signaling appliances and tracks at the intersections of major rail lines that required a method of control to prevent collisions and provide for the efficient movement of trains. Most interlocking plants had elevated structures that housed mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection. Union Depot Tower is such an elevated structure. Source: Museum of the American Railroad Frisco Texas CSX Train 1513 moves east through the interlocking. July 25, 1997. Photo courtesy of Tim Frey Ownership of Union Depot Tower Upon the completion of Union Depot Tower in 1914, U.D. Tower was owned and operated by the four rail companies with lines that came through downtown Joliet.

    December 2020 Project Management Oversight Report

    Project Management Oversight December 2020 REPORT ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT – DECEMBER 2020 Executive Summary This semi‐annual Report on Project Management Oversight details Service Board efforts in implementing their capital programs. Included are details on all state‐funded projects, regardless of budget, and all systemwide projects with budgets of $10 million or more, regardless of funding source. Information in this report was collected by direct , interviews project meetings, and documented submissions from Service Board project management teams. The RTA’s 2018‐2023 Regional Transit Strategic Plan, Invest in Transit, highlights $30 billion of projects that are needed to maintain and modernize the region’s transit network. To maintain and preserve the current system in a State of Good Repair (SGR), as well as address the backlog of deferred SGR projects, requires a capital investment of $2 to $3 billion per year. The Rebuild Illinois funding is planned to expedite overdue repair and replacement projects, reduce the backlog of deferred improvements, and move the system toward a state of good repair. It nearly doubles the previous five‐year regional capital program of $4.3 billion. The funds enable real progress on the state of good repair, by allowing improvements and in some cases replace aging system assets. Although this has been a difficult year due to operating funding shortfalls related to COVID‐19, the Service Boards are continuing with the implementation of their capital programs. This report includes, for the first time, 13 Rebuild Illinois projects representing $655 million in Rebuild Illinois funding. The 13 projects reported on have begun during this reporting period and have ongoing activities.

    June 2018 Project Management Oversight Report

    June 2018 Project Management Oversight Prepared by the Department of Finance, Innovation & Technology REPORT ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT – JUNE 2018 Executive Summary This semi‐annual Report on Project Management Oversight details Service Board efforts in implementing their capital programs. Included are details on all state‐funded projects, regardless of budget, and all systemwide projects with budgets of $10 million or more, regardless of funding source. Information in this report was collected by direct interviews, project meetings, and documented submissions from Service Board project management teams. The State of Good Repair backlog for the region currently stands at $19.4 billion, and the 10‐ year capital need for normal reinvestment is $18.3 billion, which results in total 10‐year capital need of $37.7 billion. The 60 projects detailed in this report together represent $3,861,547,183 worth of construction, maintenance, and procurement. Many of these projects will address outstanding capital needs, while others are directed to compliance with federal requirements or enhancing customer experience, safety, and security. The majority of state funded projects are within budget, one project is under budget. 80% of the state funded projects are on schedule. Regarding change orders, some of the added budget came from decisions by the Service Boards to add value to projects or comply with federal requirements. Other change orders were mostly for unforeseen conditions, and a minimal amount was due to errors and omissions. There were also change orders that provided credit for value engineering and for unused allowance and deleted work. Although the progress being made on these projects is significant, current capital funding will not support much needed renewal of the region’s aging transit infrastructure.
