The Illinois Department of Transportation recently kicked off a state-wide long-range transportation planning effort. The results of this effort will serve as a master plan for all transportation modes in Illinois, including highways, waterways, aeronautics, mass transportation, bicyclists, pedestrians, and railroad systems.

The plan sets forth policies and goals that will guide the development of the state transportation system and identify issues and key needs for the state transportation system over the forthcoming twenty plus years.

The Illinois State Transportation Plan will be submitted to the governor, the general assembly, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Transit Authority by December 31, 2012.
