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 2025-2029 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 2025-2029 Regional Capital Program. Beginning with the 2025-2029 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 2025-2029 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 2025-2029 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
Design and construction of stations of the Pulse 95th Rapid Transit Line. The project corridor is approximately 12.4 miles in length and runs east-west between the CTA Red Line 95th/Dan Ryan Station in Chicago and Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills primarily routed along 95th Street, as well as several other roadways in Bridgeview, Chicago Ridge, Hickory Hills, and Palos Hills. The proposed line would include connections to other transit services including the CTA Red Line 95th/Dan Ryan Station and other CTA routes, other Pace bus routes, Metra Rock Island District Line Longwood Station, Metra Southwest Service, and Oak Lawn Patriot Station. As Pace’s third anticipated Pulse line, the 95th Street service will improve connectivity and increase transit service levels through higher frequencies, travel time savings, and station amenities. The Pulse 95th Street Line will connect to the Pulse Halsted Line, and eventually to the Pulse Harlem and Cicero Lines.

Project Details
Description
CTA will continue investing in the rail car fleet maintenance program. This program is intended to correct critical defects and operational deficiencies discovered during inspections of rail cars. CTA’s scheduled maintenance program consists of planned work to maintain rail car performance. While major overhaul work is performed on a quarterly and mid-life cycle basis, additional focused maintenance work is required at certain intervals of the car’s life, outside of the overhaul cycle. When certain maintenance tasks are needed to repair or replace a component before it reaches its end of useful life and fails with an increased frequency, specific component campaign work is conducted.The major systems that must be maintained on CTA’s rail cars include the following:Propulsion, Safety, HVAC, Braking, Battery/Charging, Signage, Doors, Windows, Traction Power, RCA, Lighting, Automatic Train Control, Communication , Suspension, Car body/Structure. CTA’s Rail Terminal Shops are responsible for the maintenance that may result in replacement of a variety of components such as: traction motors, HVAC components and packages, lights, public address system components, trucks, wheels assemblies, hydraulic units, couplers, drawbars, and numerous other mechanical and electrical components. CTA’s Heavy Maintenance Shop is responsible for the rebuild/repair/manufacture of components for the railcar fleet such as wheel assemblies, truck assemblies, traction motors, air comfort units, electronic devices, control units, and associated devices including solid state and microprocessor-controlled units.

Project Details
Description
North Main Line - RPM The purpose of the Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Program is to expand capacity to meet growing ridership demand; reduce travel times; improve access to job markets and destinations; better utilize existing transit infrastructure; bring the existing infrastructure to a state of good repair; and improve access to the system for patrons with disabilities. FY2021-2025 funds will continue RPM Phase One funding stream.Red Purple Modernization phase one project consists the following interrelated and concurrent projects, as defined in the environmental documents to be developed by the CTA:RED-PURPLE BYPASS PROJECT. This element would construct a fifth track bypass flyover immediately north of the CTA Belmont Station to separate northbound Brown Line trains that currently conflict with southbound Purple Line trains and both northbound and southbound Red Line trains. This project includes construction of a new fifth track bypass flyover and replacement or renovation of approximately 0.3 mile of associated mainline track.LAWRENCE TO BRYN MAWR MODERNIZATION PROJECT. This modernization project would replace 1.3 miles of the existing rail line from Leland Avenue on the south to approximately Ardmore Avenue on the north. This section of track includes four stations - Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn, and Bryn Mawr. The project would expand and modernize these four stations. The project would also provide ADA access to transit customers with disabilities in a two-mile stretch of the north Red Line that currently does not have accessible stations.CORRIDOR SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS. This project would improve the signal system and special trackwork generally between Belmont and Loyola stations. Improvements would occur within CTA's existing right-of-way. The scope of work includes planning, design, procurement, and installation of wayside equipment and special trackwork that are significantly past their useful lives. This project also includes improvements to existing special trackwork.CONTINUED INTERIM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. This project would improve track infrastructure conditions between Belmont Station and Linden Station in order to maintain service along existing rail lines. This work would take place within the CTA's existing right-of-way.

The Corridor Signal Improvements (CSI) project monitored the track circuit in the LBMM Stage B area and resumed installing brackets and messenger cables along embankment walls north of Thorndale. Additionally, innerduct installation for the communications network backbone continued. The Red Purple Modernization (RPM) project removed the old Clark Relay House, addressed signal testing discrepancies, and prepared for factory tests of new signal equipment. The Jarvis Relay Room began mechanical, electrical, and fire suppression improvements. The Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization (LBMM) completed significant structural work, including embankment excavation, retaining wall removal, and concrete deck pours for the Ardmore transition bridge. Drilling caissons and constructing concrete piers for the elevated structure progressed, and foundational work for the Bryn Mawr station began, alongside steel erection for the platform and escalator/elevator trusses.
