Thank you to everyone who attended our Listening Tour meetings and participated in our online survey!
Transportation is the asset that distinguishes Illinois from the rest of the country. Our roads, transit systems, railroads, airports and waterways make Illinois the transportation hub of North America and provide us with a global economic advantage.
But we are at a crossroads. Over the next six years, 40 percent of Illinois highways and one in seven bridges will be in unacceptable condition. The transit network’s bus and rail system will not be adequately overhauled, leading to less reliable and underutilized service. School and other key state construction projects will continue to lag behind and fall into disrepair.
The Illinois Department of Transportation and Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn, in coordination with the Illinois Capital Development Board, recently held a series of informal public meetings throughout the state.
This dialogue, emphasizing quality of life and economic growth, will establish priorities for future investment in our transportation system.
These meetings were intended to be a listening tour, sparking discussion that ultimately leads to a package of recommendations that can be presented to Governor Rauner and General Assembly for consideration this spring. A final recommendation report will be released soon.
Our mission is to start a statewide conversation that lays the groundwork for a realistic, sustainable plan for bringing our infrastructure into the 21st century.
