The RTA kicked off the planning process to prepare the 2018-2023 Regional Transit Strategic Plan with a workshop with RTA Board members during the March RTA Board meeting. The Strategic Plan, required by legislation to be updated every five years, will provide a visionary roadmap for near-term transit investment in the RTA six-county area. Metra, CTA and Pace are partnering with the RTA to develop the plan, which will focus on the capital investments that are needed to deliver great public transportation in light of changing demographics, transportation, and technology. The Strategic Plan will serve as a guide to each of the transit agencies in planning and funding future projects as well as carrying out the unique day-to-day activities needed to meet passenger needs that vary widely across the large and diverse region.
