Regional Capital Program

Capital programming is a core function of the RTA. RTA and the Service Boards have worked to articulate as well as advance a capital strategy for transit projects in the Chicagoland region.

Priority Projects have been identified by the Service Boards. These priority projects are updated on an annual basis. This page shows details about the funding for each priority project.

The 2024-2028 5-Year Regional Capital Program includes over 250 projects that are advancing many of these Priority Projects. The capital projects are shown in the table below, organized by Priority Project and can also be seen in a mapped form on the RTA Capital Projects Dashboard. Each project listing shows the amount of funding programmed in the 2024-2028 Regional Capital Program. Beginning with the 2024-2028 Capital Program, projects are evaluated based on 15 measures which were identified in the new Regional Transit Strategic Plan, Transit is the Answer. All projects in the 2024-2028 program show the detailed evaluations in this site.

The metrics include evaluations of Equity and Accessibility which are used in the performance-based allocation process. The region has committed to dedicating 20% of programmed funds to projects that fulfill the regional goals of improving equity and accessibility for 2025 and beyond as a part of the new performance-based capital allocation process

The Service Boards have met and exceeded the 20% goal for the 2025-2028 budget years.

Detailed analysis of the capital evaluation metrics is included in the Regional Transit Operating Budget and Capital Program

Project Details

Description
Funding for this project will provide for an ongoing capital maintenance program that consists of tasks necessary to keep buses in service through systematic inspection, detection, and prevention of incipient failure. CTA’s scheduled maintenance program consists of planned preventive maintenance work to maintain bus performance. While major overhaul work is performed on a mid-life cycle basis, additional focused maintenance work is required at certain intervals, outside of the mid-life overhaul, during the life of buses. When certain maintenance tasks are needed to repair or replace, before it reaches its end of useful life and failing with an increased frequency, specific component campaign work is conducted.

Project Details

Description
Elevated Track and Structure Systemwide - Funding will be targeted at preventive maintenance projects for various Infrastructure units such as Track, Structure and Power. When certain maintenance tasks are needed to repair or replace asset components in order to maintain the working life of rail system, specific component campaign work is conducted. Capital maintenance work is targeted at the following areas: Elevated Track and Structure - repair/rehabilitate track and structure elements in order to eliminate slow zones and upgrade the right-of-way along the elevated structure throughout the rail system. Traction Power Substations - program that repairs and upgrades equipment at various traction power substations currently in service. Tactical upgrades correct deficiencies and avoid service reductions due to failure and overload of aging equipment. Third Rail and Heavy Traction Power Cables - Preventive maintenance work is performed where necessary to repair/replace heavy traction power cables that feed the third rail along the tracks currently in service at various locations throughout the rail system. Rail Signal Systems - Program provides for signal equipment repair along the rail right-of-way, signal equipment on rail cars, and the reconstruction of electronic components of the signal system, including relays and circuit boards. As necessary dedicated small renewals and system modifications are also completed. All work is planned/performed to maintain the asset(s) in proper working order through its quarter life cycle, while a more extensive rehabilitation is planned at the mid-life of the asset.

Life Extending Overhaul - Up to 430 Standard (1000 Series) - This project will overhaul the engine and other major sub-components to provide the minimal amount of work necessary to keep the fleet going. By end of FY2020 630 buses will have met their estimated 12 year life expectancy. This extension would extend the bus life by four years. The life extension for the 40 foot 1000-1629 New Flyer Bus is essential to keeping a majority of the CTA fleet running in optimal condition. The current fleet of 40 foot NF buses is over 1000 buses. This project is essential to meet availability requirements for CTA. These buses were purchased in 2006-2007 and this life extension is essential to maintaining peak availability requirements at all 7 bus garages.

Project Details

Description
CTA has partnered with the Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH) to revitalize the southeastcorner of 63rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue with a new multi-use office/retail space, which willcontain a new Cottage Grove station house. Overall the general design concept relocates the CottageGrove station house within POAH's new Woodlawn Crossing mixed-use development at the southeastcorner of 63rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, while the existing platforms and other related railinfrastructure will remain in their current locations. The POAH design concept also adds a newpedestrian bridge and canopy to connect the existing platforms to POAH's Woodlawn Crossing building.The project will dramatically decrease the footprint of the CTA's Cottage Grove station over theintersection of 63rd Street and Cottage Grove, which will provide more natural light at street-level anddirectly respond to community feedback. The project features a number of station enhancements thatwill improve customer experience, including attractive new sculptural canopies, contemporary stationfinishes, a new elevator, and brighter lighting inside the station and on the platform. This funding willprovide for the demolition of the existing station house and canopy, new stationhouse including finisheswithin a new multi-use office/retail space conforming to CTA standards and criteria, platform extensions,new stairs from platform to grade, a new platform canopy, new friction buffer stops and associated trackwork, structural steel girder and stringer repairs, new lighting, new signage, and new train operator'sfacility.
