The Illinois Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the initiation of the Illinois State Rail Plan. The Illinois State Rail Plan will provide a long range investment program framework for meeting the various needs of passenger and freight rail within the State. 

 

Get Involved! 

Meetings will be held statewide to introduce the study, seek input regarding issues, collect information on the public's vision for rail in the state, and identify priorities that will affect rail transportation service and demand, over the next two or three decades.   Click below for the January 2012 Illinois State Rail Plan Newsletter. 

 

   

 

The meetings will be in an open house format and will include a presentation and exhibits to provide background information. IDOT and study team representatives will be available to answer questions and listen to comments and concerns.
