Subregional Planning - Regional Transportation Authority

Subregional Planning

The Subregional Planning program provides funding and planning assistance for county, subregional or corridor level transit and land use focused planning studies that serve the traditional suburb-to-city and intra-urban markets, as well as the non-traditional city-to-suburb markets. The program is available to counties, townships, councils of government/municipal associations, and groups of two or more municipalities in the RTA six-county service area, the City of Chicago, and the RTA Service Boards (CTA, Metra, and Pace). The program funds planning projects such as:

Detailed Implementation Studies
Service development studies for existing, underserved or emerging markets
The transit component of a county or subregional transportation plan
Corridor or subregional level integrated transit and land use improvement studies
Transit-oriented development studies at the county, subregional or corridor level
Coordinated paratransit studies at the county, subregional or corridor level
