Bacigalupo 1–4 Budget in Brief Budget in Brief 1–5 December 28, 2001 To the riders and taxpayers of the RTA region: The 2002 budget and five-year program combines the spending plans of the Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace along with that of the Regional Transportation Authority. As the region’s public transit providers, we recognize that to successfully retain and attract riders we must provide high-quality services that meet our customers’ needs. The 2002 budget and five-year capital program represents our plans to continue to provide these essential services while meeting our statutory obligation to ensure the financial stability of our transit system. The primary source of public funding for the region’s transit system is the sales tax. In fact, our budgetary process must use sales tax projections created by the Illinois Bureau of the Budget. Those initial projections were provided last July and have been used as the basis for the Service Board budgets. However, events surrounding the terrorist attacks of September 11th have seriously impacted our outlook for an economy which was already preparing for a recession. We expect that actual sales tax receipts will be lower than forecast in 2001 and possibly even into the first part of 2002. In spite of this, total RTA funding to the Service Boards in 2002 is expected to continue at the lev- els established in last year’s plan. This is due to prudent planning by the RTA Board who has encouraged oper- ating efficiencies at the Service Boards over the years and taken financing actions whenever possible to reduce debt service. The Board, in 1998, took further steps to ensure financial stability by establishing an ordinance re- quiring that 5 percent of our transit system’s annual operating costs be set aside as a minimum fund balance specifically to reduce the impact of fluctuations in sales tax and other revenues. Recognizing the importance of spending as an economic stimulus, the RTA will continue to emphasize capi- tal investment to improve our transit system. The CTA and Metra have received an unprecedented four full- funding grant agreements from the Federal Transit Administration that will enable them to proceed with the rehabilitation of the Douglas Branch of the Blue Line and rail extensions that will improve service to Lake, Kane and Will counties. In 2002, we plan to issue up to $720 million in bonds authorized by Governor Ryan’s Illinois FIRST program to accelerate this capital improvement. This includes the issuance of $160 million in Strategic Capital Improvement Program (SCIP) bonds remaining from those authorized in 2001. Now more than ever, the economic stimulus value of Illinois FIRST can truly be realized. We believe that the best thing we can do as an industry is to put these existing and available funds to work in the general economy, as envisioned by the Gov- ernor and the General Assembly, to create jobs and improve our transit system. In 2002 and beyond, we will also proceed with projects and studies designed to improve transit service and coordination throughout the region. We will continue to study and implement ways to improve the coordination of transit services through the development of a Regional Transit Coordination Plan and to help communities throughout the region make land use development decisions that better accommodate transit service through the Region Technical Assistance Program. Our plans for the region remain ambitious, even in uncertain times. By working together with all the Mayors in our region and our Governor and elected officials in Springfield and Washington, we hope to accomplish much. This 2002 RTA budget and five-year program shows our commitment to the region and its future. Thomas J.

  • Prioritizing Sidewalk Investment Near Transit Supports a More Accessible Transportation System
    JAN. 15, 2020 PRIORITIZING SIDEWALK INVESTMENT NEAR TRANSIT SUPPORTS A MORE ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM Key takeaways The new CMAP sidewalk inventory can be used to identify areas where sidewalk additions are most needed in order to improve pedestrian access to transit. Sidewalks can have the biggest impact when they connect transit with existing amenities and in areas with significant population or employment. In all six counties, communities have the opportunity to improve sidewalks near Metra stations. On the CTA system, the greatest impact can be achieved through targeted and prioritized investment near rail stations with high job density and where existing infrastructure caters to vehicles rather than pedestrians. Executive Summary Sidewalk inventory supports data driven investment decisions CMAP’s regional sidewalk inventory offers the first opportunity to comprehensively analyze sidewalk availability near transit in northeastern Illinois. Making transit more competitive is a key recommendation in the region’s long- range plan, ON TO 2050. Increasing transit ridership improves air quality by reducing the number of vehicles on the road, reduces highway congestion, and connects people to jobs, education, entertainment, and other amenities. In addition, public transit access is especially crucial for those who cannot drive or do not have access to a car. Ensuring that riders can safely access bus stops and trains stations on foot is a critical way the region can make transit safer and more competitive with other modes. Chicago

  • 3. Existing Transportation System
    3. Existing Transportation System An important prerequisite to transportation planning is an understanding of the components and operations of the existing transportation system. This section describes the roadway, transit, freight, and bicycle and pedestrian systems in the study area. Each system component and its travel demand, desire, and characteristics is discussed below. 3.1 Existing Roadway System The roadway system in the study area consists of an extensive network of roads that serve various trips. The system includes facilities with different functional classifications, each with a unique intended function. This subsection describes the roadway transportation system in the study area and summarizes its basic characteristics. 3.1.1 Functional Classification Creation of a traffic circulation system on a roadway network requires careful planning of the intended purpose and required design characteristics of each link in the system. The purpose of having a functionally classified highway system is to recognize existing travel patterns, and to reinforce and control them so that there is some established order of traffic flow. Roadways vary in width, design, and function. Exhibit 3-1 depicts the relationship between the access and mobility functions of streets and highways. The highest classification (freeways) is intended solely for traffic movement and does not provide access to adjoining land uses except at interchanges. The lowest category (local streets) allows unrestricted access and is not intended to accommodate through traffic. The roadway designations referred to in this study are based on the following functional classification categories described in IDOT’s Illinois Roadway Information System: • Freeway—The freeway system consists of a connected network of continuous routes that are access controlled and constructed for higher design speeds.

Office of the Governor 207 State Capitol, Springfield, Illinois 62706 February 20, 2019 To the Honorable Members of the General Assembly and the People of the State of Illinois: I respectfully submit to you the proposed fiscal year 2020 capital budget. This proposal is a baseline maintenance program that does little to address the immense infrastructure needs of this state. It begins to address the annual accumulation of deferred maintenance at state facilities and the state’s public colleges and universities, but falls short of a comprehensive capital program. The fiscal year 2020 budget includes $1.8 billion for the Illinois Department of Transportation’s road program. Another $750 million in new bonded capital will allow the Capital Development Board to address the state’s deferred maintenance needs, including $600 million for state facilities and $150 million for colleges and universities.
