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.
Project Management Oversite (PMO) data is provided for projects that are being actively monitored by the PMO group. Data included current activities, start and end date and budget and schedule status. The following page has a full list of active PMO projects.

Project Details
Description
Pace is in need of a stand-alone storage solution and will construct a shed to store and secure up to 10tons of bulk rock salt that is used during the winter season. The construction of the shed will be within thefootprint of Pace's parcel. This shed will allow for accessible use with Pace's skidsteer to load rock saltonto the pickup trucks and distribute it on approximately more than 15,000 square yards of grounds(parking lots and driveways), in addition to sidewalks, in a safe and more efficient manner. CurrentlyPace purchases 50-pound bags of salt that have to be loaded manually which has become very unsafein term of personal injury risk and is very time consuming as it has to be loaded multiple times per day.
