Move Illinois: 2024 Long-Range Transportation Plan

State law mandates that IDOT update the LRTP every five years. As such, Illinois’ previous LRTP was released in spring 2019. Its six chapters focused on economy, livability, mobility, resiliency, and stewardship. Click here to learn more about the previous LRTP.

IDOT is simultaneously conducting multiple transportation studies to capture the unique characteristics of different regions and transportation modes across the state. Through this collaborative approach, the 2024 LRTP will bring together all the findings into a single comprehensive document, forming a blueprint for transportation across the entire state. Join us in reshaping the way we Move Illinois. 

Developing the 2024 LRTP is a multi-phase effort that will take place through late 2024. The first and current phase involves collecting data from existing or ongoing transportation studies in the state to determine the overarching goals for the plan. At the same time, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is collecting public feedback to help shape the potential goals and objectives of the LRTP.

The previous LRTP’s goals focused on enhancing economy, livability, mobility, resiliency, and stewardship within the Illinois transportation system. For the 2024 LRTP, we are gathering public input via a survey to determine whether to retain these goals, remove or change any, or introduce additional ones to better address the evolving needs and aspirations of our communities. Make your voice heard by taking the survey below.

Whether you're a commuter, a resident, or a visitor, we want to hear your experiences with and insights on our state's transportation system. Our survey is available in both English and Spanish at the link below. Your input will help shape the goals and objectives in the LRTP that will guide transportation decisions for years to come. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the 2024 LRTP and improve transportation in Illinois!
