As these changes have come to the area, existing transportation infrastructure has been extensively challenged. In the interest of maintaining an environment that is supportive of attraction and retention of key industries, and ensuring a high quality of life for both the residents and those who work and travel in Grundy County, the time has come to generate a comprehensive and strategic set of transportation priorities for the County. Priorities Plan Goals: 1. Demonstrate to elected officials and policy makers the need for a high level of state and federal priority for Grundy County transportation planning and projects; 2. Serve as a repository for transportation priorities in Grundy County; 3. Create transparent priorities and goals that are easily visible to the residents of Grundy County and the region in the interest of encouraging input and collaboration; 4. Raise awareness of existing and planned projects among municipal and county leaders to promote collaborative efforts across local governmental agencies; 5. Actively seek to include all external projects affecting Grundy County, including those at the state, federal, and local levels; and 6. Develop a mechanism for prioritizing the management and development of current and future transportation projects affecting Grundy County. Growing Public Transportation Need: The tri-county region was the fastest growing area in the state during the last 10 years, ranking 1-2-3 in percentage population growth (Kendall-110%; Will-35%; Grundy-33%) 2013 Grundy County Transportation Priorities 3 Between 2000 and 2010, the same region added 248,000 residents, and the regional population density increased from 376 persons per square mile in 2000 to 534 in 2010 Total employment for the region increased 36% over the same period, rising from 229,000 to 311,000 jobs, increasing the commuter demand on local roads In the period from 2001 to 2011, the Grundy-Kendall-Will region experienced a 75% increase in transportation and warehousing jobs, from 9,791 in 2001 to 17,108 in 2011 Growing Industry Transportation Need: Transportation, Logistics and Warehousing continues to be a prime industrial growth engine for both Grundy County and the region. The regional 75% increase in jobs in this industry over the last decade has created increased pressure on current transportation systems. The attractiveness of the area for this industry indicates that continuing high levels of growth should be anticipated in the medium term. Future growth is expected to increase in this industry within the county, creating additional road and rail transport needs. Existing multimodal projects and future growth in neighboring Will County are generating and will continue to generate high roadway usage in eastern Grundy County and corridors surrounding that area. The current and planned intermodal terminals within Will County will drive significant vehicle presence on our roadways. Increasing rail volumes in the Chicago region provide opportunity for growth in Grundy County, and a need to capitalize on existing and proposed rail projects. 2013 Grundy County Transportation Priorities 4 Grundy County Transportation Priorities Summary of Projects State Road Projects 1.

  • The Interstate Highway System Turns 60
    The Interstate Highway System turns 60: Challenges to Its Ability to Continue to Save Lives, Time and Money JUNE 27, 2016 202-466-6706 tripnet.org Founded in 1971, TRIP ® of Washington, DC, is a nonprofit organization that researches, evaluates and distributes economic and technical data on surface transportation issues. TRIP is sponsored by insurance companies, equipment manufacturers, distributors and suppliers; businesses involved in highway and transit engineering and construction; labor unions; and organizations concerned with efficient and safe surface transportation. Executive Summary Sixty years ago the nation embarked on its greatest public works project, the construction of the Interstate Highway System. President Dwight D. Eisenhower provided strong support for the building of an Interstate Highway System that would improve traffic safety, reduce travel times and improve the nation’s economic productivity. Serving as the most critical transportation link in the nation’s economy, the Interstate Highway System has significantly improved the lives of U.S. residents and visitors. Throughout the nation, the Interstate system allows for high levels of mobility by greatly reducing travel times and providing a significantly higher level of traffic safety than other routes. But 60 years after President Eisenhower articulated a vision for the nation’s transportation system, the U. S. again faces a challenge in modernizing its aging and increasingly congested Interstate highway system. If Americans are to continue to enjoy their current level of personal and commercial mobility on Interstate highways and bridges, the nation will need to make a commitment to identifying a long-term funding source to support a well-maintained Interstate Highway System able to meet the nation’s need for additional mobility.
