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

+ Centralized Traffic Control System Upgrade Electrical, Signal & Communications Rail $500,000 $1,000,000

Project Details

Description
Metra’s aging communications systems will be updated, improved, or replaced under this project to implement state-of-the-art solutions that are more reliable. Sub-projects may include, but may not be limited to, the improvement or replacement of Metra’s current radio systems, phone systems, and data-transfer systems. Project activities may reduce the long-term operating, audit, monitoring, and repair costs while improving the reliability of various communications systems. The primary means of communicating with the field is the ATCS radio network which is being decommissioned within the next 3-5 years. Backup modes of communications rely on aging copper circuits which are costly and unreliable. Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) over Interoperable Train Control Messaging (ITCM) leverages the PTC communications infrastructure to transport controls and indications, which increases reliability and decreases cost by converging infrastructure.

Description
This project will provide funds for the replacement of the Seeger Interlocking on Metra’s Union PacificNorthwest line (MP 18.5). The layout of the control point only allows 30 mph crossover speeds forcommuter trains. The goal of this upgrade, in addition to updating the equipment, would be to increasethe train speeds to 40 mph, and upgrade the switch layouts to meet current railroad designspecification.The existing signal system is approximately 50 years old and requires replacement due to age andcondition. The signal system has had malfunction issues that have caused delays. The replacementequipment will include a modern, solid state control point and an upgraded switch machine.By renewing the signal infrastructure with the latest technologies, Metra can increase operationalefficiency, enhance safety, reduce delays, and have a life expectancy of additional twenty plus years.FY2020 PAYGO funds will be used to implement this project.

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.

Project Details

Description
Project funds will be targeted to Safety and State of Good Repair projects throughout CTA’s right-of-way infrastructure. All work planned and performed will maintain the asset(s) in proper condition through its quarter life cycle, while a more extensive rehabilitation is planned at the mid-life of the asset. Funding will provide for the replacement of ties, running rail and third rail on the elevated structure systemwide. Beyond track renewal, work will focus on key deficient structural elements that have been identified through structural inspections.
