  • Modernizing Metra & Investing in Our Future Chapter 1: Positive Train Control (Ptc) & Rolling Stock Back
    MODERNIZING METRA & INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE CHAPTER 1: POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL (PTC) & ROLLING STOCK BACKGROUND Maintaining Metra’s extensive system in a state of good repair is the agency’s biggest challenge. State of Good Repair (SGR) is achieved when the preventative maintenance and rehabilitation needs of all assets are met within the recommended timeframe, and no component remains in service beyond its useful life. The long‐lasting nature of railroad assets gives a false impression of a fixed asset that does not wear out, but safe and reliable service depends on the perpetual maintenance and replacement of a diverse set of components: track, signals, electrical and communications equipment, rolling stock, bridges, support facilities and vehicles, and stations and customer parking facilities. The continued deferral of capital projects has far‐reaching consequences. As components degrade, service reliability suffers. A single breakdown can affect multiple lines; the failure of an important control point, for example, disrupts service on entire portions of Metra’s system. As unexpected problems occur, trains are delayed and crews must work longer hours or unscheduled shifts, driving up labor costs. The poor condition of one component can accelerate wear and tear on other components— for example, track condition affects the operation of rolling stock, and vice versa. As labor and repair costs rise, more dollars are diverted from capital needs, and capital maintenance is further deferred. Losses in ridership—and fare revenue—follow the decline in service quality and reliability, meaning that even fewer funds are available to sustain the system, and the downward spiral continues. Not only does this cycle degrade the existing system, but meaningful enhancements or extensions of service to meet the region’s changing transportation needs may not be feasible.

  • Metra Stations Guide
    METRA STATIONS GUIDE Welcome to Metra, the commuter rail system that serves Northeast Illinois. Metra operates eleven rail lines that serve the six counties surrounding the Chicago Metro area. On an average business day, nearly 300,000 commuters use Metra to get to and from work, access recreation or anything else they wish to do. There are 242 stations in the Metra system. Over 80% of these stations are accessible to riders with disabilities. These stations represent 96% of all system wide boardings. This Stations Guide has been produced to assist the many customers who are blind and visually impaired who require the same information that other customers access in print format. In this document, there is an emphasis on directional and way-finding information to assist these customers navigating the Metra system. In lieu of maps, each rail district is laid out with stations listed from the downtown terminus point to the end of that particular line. Metra’s Downtown Terminals Metra is a true “hub and spoke” rail system. All eleven lines radiate out from the Chicago downtown area. The vast majority of riders come into the city center from outlying communities to access employment and entertainment. Metra has five major downtown stations: Chicago Union Station, Millennium Station, the Ogilvie Transportation Center, LaSalle Street Station and the Van Buren Station. At all of these facilities, there is an audio system to assist blind and visually impaired customers locate which track their train is departing from and track enunciators to help locate their track. This is in place so that a customer with significant visual loss can navigate their way through a station and get to their train without assistance.
