  • June 2020 Project Management Oversight Report
    Project Management Oversight June 2020 REPORT ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT – JUNE 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 new funds enable real progress on the state of good repair, by allowing improvements and in some cases replace aging system assets. Due to the current events, there is a level of uncertainty around the PAYGO and State Bond funding, which is dependent on revenues that may not reach the previously projected levels in the current economy. At this time the Service Boards are continuing with the implementation of their capital programs and working through the grant application process for the Rebuild Illinois funding.

  • June 2019 Project Management Oversight Report
    REPORT ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT – JUNE 2019 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. After nearly a decade without a State of Illinois capital program, transit in the RTA region will get a much‐needed infusion from the Rebuild Illinois bill passed on June 1, 2019 by the General Assembly. The RTA is looking forward to the implementation of this new state capital plan however there is a concern that the proposed funding for transit does not meet the current needs as identified in “Invest in Transit.” The 55 projects detailed in this report together represent $5,712,260,030 worth of construction, maintenance, and procurement. Many of these projects address outstanding capital needs, while others are directed toward compliance with federal requirements or enhancing customer experience, safety, and security. All of the state funded projects are within budget.

  • 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.

  • Regional Ridership Report
    0 2012 Regional Ridership Report CONTENTS Executive Summary……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….2 Regional Economic Outlook………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………….4 Regional Ridership Summary……………………………………………………………………………………………………………....11 CTA Ridership Results………………………………………………………………………………………………………………14 Metra Ridership Results……………………………………………………………………………………………………………32 Pace Ridership Results……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..40 Pace ADA Paratransit Ridership Results…………………………………………………………………………………..48 Fare History…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..49 1 2012 Regional Ridership Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides analysis of Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) system ridership over the five-year period between 2008 and 2012. This period was marked by a significant period of economic recession that began in 2008 and ended in mid-2009. Economic recovery since then has been modest and as of 2012, employment and job growth had yet to return to pre- recession levels. The recession negatively impacted transit operations on the RTA system and forced the Service Boards (CTA, Metra, and Pace) to consider fare increases and service cuts. CTA, Pace Suburban Service, and Pace ADA Paratransit implemented fare increases in 2009. Metra implemented fare adjustments in 2010 and a significant fare increase in 2012 to bring fares in line with inflationary cost increases. In addition, CTA and Pace both cut service in 2010, with CTA reducing service frequencies, shortening service hours, and eliminating nine express bus routes, and Pace eliminating $1.5 million worth of service. These fare increases and service cuts, together with significant job loss in the region, combined to produce negative ridership results on the RTA system in 2009 and 2010. After two years of ridership loss, the regional economy began to improve in 2011, along with ridership, and these positive trends continued into 2012. A complete history of Service Board fare increases from 2000 to 2012 is included in the final chapter of this report.
