With communities across the region planning for an evolving economy, altered development patterns, and changing transportation habits, counties are updating their long range transportation plans to facilitate economic development, prioritize alternative transportation modes, and promote equitable access between neighborhoods, job centers, and community amenities. Cook and Will Counties are both finishing up their transportation plans, while DuPage County recently initiated its plan. Learn how each county has approached its respective transportation plan and how they may impact planning in your community.
