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.
Replacement of vehicles and radio systems for existing program. New vehicles, transfer locations and maintenance facilities for direct Pace ownership of assets for ADA service within City of Chicago

Third Rail Isolation Demonstration Project
Track & Structure
Rail
$0
$0
Project Details
Description
CTA utilizes an exposed third rail system to provide power to trains on all revenue and non-revenue tracks. The third rail is typically installed on insulator chairs spaced eight feet apart just outside one of the running rails. CTA's rail cars utilize a “gravity shoe” to collect 600 Volts DC from the top surface of the third rail. In station areas, the third rail is typically located on the opposite side of the track from the station platform – this provides some level of protection from a person falling off the platform and coming in contact with the electrified third rail. Unfortunately, there are incidences when a passenger falls off the platform with sufficient momentum to reach the far side of the track and make contact with the third rail. This proposed project will add additional safety features on the third rail in the vicinity of station platforms.Funding will provide for two technologies: the Third Rail Isolation System and the Third Rail Side Guards (sideboards).The first feature is a safety feature proposed to include the isolation of the third rail through the stations such that when no train is approaching or present at the station, the third rail would be de-energized. This additional feature would include a control device to energize the third rail in the station, and by-pass cables to carry current around the station to feed the third rail outside the station.The second feature would include non-conductive side boards on both sides of the third rail which would reduce the likelihood of a person making contact with the rail. The sideboards would also provide an opportunity to apply warning labels directly on the third rail so as to better direct passengers to the hazard posed by this element. The sideboards would also provide a layer of protection for CTA employees that are required to walk alongside the third rail during maintenance activities.

Metra intends to exercise a clause in the lease contract to purchase the parking lot area for the Arlington Park station on the Union Pacific Northwest (UP-NW) Line. Metra has leased a 9.3-acre parking lot from the owners of the Arlington Park Racecourse since 2002. It was announced in 2021 that the horse racing track would close, and the property will be sold off. Metra seeks to purchase the land to avoid annual rent costs, which will result in significant savings, and to allow flexibility for long-range planning of the station.

Description
The current General Electric announcement system has become outdated and there are no upgrades available. This project will include, but is not limited to, the purchase and installation of LCD displays and associated communications equipment throughout the Metra system. This project will allow for more timely information on arriving trains and allow for improvements including digital LCD displays and automated announcements. The displays could show train(s) arriving at the station, estimated time of arrival, stops made by the train, and any service alerts that may influence service. The screens would be connected to a server via a direct network that could display e-alerts, rail time tracker information, advertising and other information on the screens to inform Metra customers.

However, this project may also include the Oak Lawn Station (SouthWest Service) andthe River Forest Station (Union Pacific West Line). Note that this is a preliminary list of stationsidentified for platform rehabilitation and other locations may be added.FY 2020 PAYGO and Federal funds will be used for construction. Future funding may be required.This project is necessary to bring Metra’s system into compliance with the 1990 ADA.

To accommodate the Cedar Lake Road Realignment project led by Lake County, portions of the Round Lake station will have to be relocated and reconstructed. The Cedar Lake Road will bisect the station's platform as they are currently located, therefore, the platforms will need to be rebuild due east. Lake County will fund the station infrastructure components that are directly impacted by the project in full. Metra is taking the opportunity to reevaluate the station site plan and to consider Metra-funded improvements. Funds programmed in 2022 will finance engineering and design services. Construction funds are provided in later years.
