Funding from previous state capital bills is winding down and reflected in Illinois’ FY 2019-2024 Proposed Multimodal Multi- 33.5% Year Program, along with funding from federal, local and industry sources. 47.1% 12.9% Transportation plays a vital role in the economic prosperity of Illinois. Air and rail services move people and goods into and throughout Illinois, keeping the state’s 6.5% economy moving and connecting communities. Additionally, transit and paratransit services are crucial to our ability to provide access to jobs, medical care, Federal State education and activities throughout urban, $847.9 million $602.9 million suburban and rural communities. Local Private (Rail) $231.1 million $116.6 million While funding for transit, rail and air transportation is sourced from federal, state, Rail and Aero MYP Funding Total: $1.79 local and industry sources, Illinois’ present ability to continue its support of much-needed billion funding is severely limited. Most proposed Rail and air projects proposed in the 2019- funding for the 2019-2024 Multimodal MYP is 2024 Multimodal MYP range in scope from a derived from federal sources, at 47.1 percent. municipal airport’s upgrade of fueling facilities State funding sources make up 33.5 percent to the construction of high-speed rail of total funding, with local sources funding infrastructure between St. Louis and Chicago. only 12.9 percent of the 2019-2024 total. (An The total count of projects within the additional 6.5 percent of funding is projected Multimodal MYP is 231. Airport projects from private sources, strictly for projects within comprise 90.9 percent of this total and rail the CREATE rail program in the Chicago projects comprise 9.1 percent. area.) Note that transit projects are programmed locally (at the MPO level) on a continuous basis and are therefore not included in the 2019-2024 Multimodal MYP. Contained within this document are links to MPO’s Transportation Improvement Programs, as well as any federal and state funding contributions to transit capital programming. IDOT 2019-2024 Multimodal MYP Page 1 developed as part of IDOT’s Long-Range Projects by Mode Transportation Plan: Economy – Improve Illinois’ economy by providing transportation infrastructure that supports the efficient Air 210 movement of people and goods. Livability – Enhance the quality of life across the state Rail 21 by ensuring that transportation investments enhance local goals, provide multimodal options and preserve the environment. 0 50 100 150 200 250 Mobility – Support all modes of transportation to improve accessibility and safety by improving Transit projects are programmed locally and not connections between all modes of transportation. included within the IDOT 2019-2024 MYP While airport projects vastly outnumber rail Resiliency – Proactively assess, plan and invest in the state’s transportation system to ensure that our projects in terms of basic quantity, it’s also infrastructure is prepared to sustain and recover from important to consider the overall investment extreme events and other disruptions. being made in each mode through the projects in question: Stewardship – Safeguard existing funding and increase revenues to support system maintenance, modernization and strategic growth of Illinois’ transportation system. Investments by Mode (in Billions of Dollars) The LRTP establishes a set of policies to guide future development, rather than the Airports specific improvements outlined in this MYP. These goals provide the broad framework for Rail new decision-making and future analysis tools. IDOT has also developed a 0 0.5 1 1.5 performance-based project selection tool to assist with data-driven decision making during the project programming process. For the FY 2019-2024 time period, rail investments lead the MYP, which totals IDOT’s LRTP can be found at approximately $1.79 billion. Rail investments http://www.idot.illinois.gov/transportation- are proposed to exceed a billion dollars, system/transportation- totaling $1.19 billion, with much of this funding management/planning/lrtp/index. going toward statewide inter-city passenger rail improvement and development, as well as Marine Transportation CREATE projects in northeastern Illinois. Airport projects make up a minority portion of In CY 2014, Illinois moved 1.2 billion tons of the MYP, totaling $604 million and comprising goods via road, rail, air and water.
