Why a Strategic Plan?
The Regional Transit Strategic Plan is intended to be used as a road map to shape the future of the region's transit system. Having such a plan helps to define the region's common vision and goals for transit and forges a thoughtful and coherent basis by which decisions can be made. The Strategic Plan attempts to highlight the most important issues that face transit in our region over the next five years, allowing transit to respond effectively to developing issues.
What is the latest news on the Strategic Plan Update?
The draft Regional Transit Strategic Plan has been released for public review and we would like your input.
In December 2012, the RTA set out to update the Regional Transit Strategic Plan in conjunction with the general public our partner agencies CTA, Metra, and Pace, as well as stakeholders. After several months of compiling opinions, workshops and analysis, we are happy to present a draft Regional Transit Strategic Plan for your review. The plan is intended to serve as a road map for regional transit and will help to guide decision-making over the next five years.
Where can I see the Draft Plan?
The strategic plan attempts to establish a common vision for transit in our region and set priorities over the next five years. The draft plan identifies the vision of the regional transit system as "A world-class regional public transportation system providing a foundation to the region's prosperity, livability, and vitality." A full description of goals and objectives of the system are identified in the plan. As a means to collectively guide the plan implementation, priority issues and related recommendations have been identified.
