    2 YEARS OF PLANNINGO DESIGN BY TRANSIT Community 2018 Planning Program Implementation Report 2018 COMMUNITY PLANNING PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION REPORT WE ARE THE RTA The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) is the unit of local government charged with financial oversight, funding, and regional transit planning for the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Metra, and Pace bus and Pace’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Paratransit Service. The RTA system serves two million riders each weekday with 145 CTA rail stations, 240 Metra commuter rail stations, 350 bus routes, with a combined 7,200 transit route miles throughout Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties of northeastern Illinois. Multi-modal connections at Evanston’s Davis Street station The RTA reviews, adopts and monitors the annual budgets, two-year financial plans and five-year capital programs of CTA, Metra, Pace and ADA Paratransit to ensure they are balanced and consistent with long-range plans. The RTA’s Project Management Oversight program, oversees capital construction projects, ensuring they are on schedule and within budget. The RTA provides rider services, including travel-planning assistance, travel training, and also manages the eligibility program for individuals with disabilities and administers the Reduced Fare and Ride Free program for seniors and people with disabilities. The RTA performs periodic financial, operational performance and safety oversight audits of CTA, Metra, and Pace. The RTA also helps fund transit signal priority technology to keep buses operating more efficiently and provides interagency signage to assist riders in making transfer connections between buses and trains. In addition to these important activities, the RTA also offers two programs that add localized value throughout the region by providing funding and technical assistance to local governments.

  • 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.

  • The Impact of Automated Transit, Pedestrian, and Bicycling Facilities on Urban Travel Patterns
    The Exploratory Advanced Research Program The Impact of Automated Transit, Pedestrian, and Bicycling Facilities on Urban Travel Patterns SUMMARY REPORT Foreword Full usage of rapid transit systems that serve major urban areas can reduce road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. One obstacle to greater use of available rapid transit systems is the distance between the rapid transit station and the traveler’s origin or destination, termed the last-mile problem. To address the last-mile problem, the investigators of this research project, sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration’s Exploratory Advanced Research Program, asked whether the use of rapid transit might be increased by implementing an automated, high-frequency community shuttle service to the transit station and improving urban design near the stations to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. The investigators surveyed residents of four metropolitan Chicago neighborhoods, all served by rapid transit but differing in levels of population density and affluence. By drawing on the survey data and by using agent- and activity-based modeling developed by the research team, the investigators found that a significant shift of commuters from automobiles to rapid transit might be achieved with implementation of the potential shuttle service and design improvements. The investigators also explored how percep- tions of cost, safety, and time affect travelers’ choice of mode. Replication of this study, validation of its forecasts, and refinement of the research models are now needed to understand significant shifts in travel and mode choice. Although the deployment of automated vehicles is approaching technological feasibility, research is also needed to understand and address asso- ciated public policy and institutional issues, particularly with regard to public transit applications.

    Northwestern Housing Guide Northwestern University Evanston Campus (purple rectangle) City of Evanston The majority of student housing is divided into 4 regions in Evanston: (1) Sheridan Road and Ridge Ave. East-West and Emerson St. to Central St. South to North, (blue) (2) Near Downtown Evanston, (orange) (3) Oakton St. and Dempster St. (S-N), and Chicago Ave. and Ridge Ave. (E-W) & Hinman/Judson Ave. (yellow) (4) Central Street. (green) The red dots are the train stops of the purple line of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) system. From south to north, South Blvd, Main, Dempster, Davis (downtown Evanston), Foster (nearest to South part of the campus), Noyes (nearest to Tech (Technological Institute) and North part of the campus), and Central. South of South Blvd is Howard station the last stop of the Purple Line and you can change to Red Line that goes to downtown Chicago. The Purple Line goes express to Chicago on weekdays during rush hour. As you move further away from campus the price of the apartment will go down within each housing area. The public transportation system is good. Studios near the university can be at the same price as a one-bedroom further away from the university. In-unit laundry is very difficult to find, and it will raise the price of the apartment. Most of the apartments building will have a laundry room. If you have a car, a parking space is about $50/month on average. This is in addition to the apartment rent. Many students find that they do not need a car because of public transportation system and Uber.

  • Oct 30Th – Nov 2Nd
    OCT 30TH – NOV 2ND Welcome to the 6th Annual NACTO Designing Cities Conference! NACTO is a space for us to collaborate with peers, celebrate successes, and commiserate about challenges. Without question, this October, this space is more important than ever. The landscape we face in 2017 demands the clear-eyed vision and grounded pragmatism that distinguishes NACTO cities. We have major headwinds and opportunities ahead of us: from autonomous vehicle design and regulation to a soaring number of national traffic fatalities – 37,461 people killed in 2016 – that continue to serve as a sobering reminder of the urgency of our work. We know from experience the power of our shared strength. We’re all here together in Chicago because we care deeply about safe streets, about vibrant public space, and about equitable and sustainable cities. And the work that we’re all doing to make public spaces welcoming and streets accessible to everyone – in cities across the country and world – is beyond measure. From Atlanta to Nashville to Pittsburgh, cities are investing in reliable transit and sustainable transportation, recognizing that physical mobility determines economic and social mobility, and well-designed streets comprise the social fabric of urban places. Streets are important, and not just to us. This past year, we’ve been reminded anew of the fundamental importance of streets as places of public discourse and civic engagement. From the 4 million people who joined the Women’s March in cities from DC to Denver to Detroit, to the thousands of people participating in CicLAvia in a demonstration of community and joy in my own town of Los Angeles – streets play a central role in our cities.
