Summary:  The Department of Transportation and Highways respectfully request that this Report be referred to the Transportation Committee. The Cook County Transit Plan refines how transit can be improved for the residents of Cook County. It identifies potential partnerships to make key transit investments and pilot new ideas. Previous collaborative efforts such as the Fair Transit South Cook Pilot and the Invest in Cook Program showcase DoTH’s potential for involvement on public transit projects. Other possible projects, programs and policies that DoTH could help facilitate are explored in this plan including strategies to implement better bus service, accessibility improvements, access to transit, better bus stops, additional transit service (span, frequency, routes, or stations) and fare integration. By helping to implement these transit improvement strategies, DoTH can continue to improve transit and improve the lives of those who call Cook County home.
