Long-Range Transportation Plan

Connecting Cook County (2016) is the County’s first long-range transportation plan in more than 75 years. This plan, built on the input of residents, business leaders and many other stakeholders, sets out a vision for how the Department of Transportation and Highways (DoTH) can help transform transportation. It outlines the following priorities to guide the County’s efforts:

  • Prioritize transit and other transportation alternatives
  • Support the region’s role as North America’s freight capital
  • Promote equal access to opportunities
  • Maintain and modernize what already exists
  • Increase investments in transportation

Since 2016, the Department has begun numerous initiatives to implement the plan, such as starting the Invest in Cook program and helping advance the Chicago Regional Environmental and Transportation Efficiency (CREATE) program.

The Department has now begun an update to the long-range plan.
