Regional Transit Study

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, and the Greater Peoria Mass Transit District worked from 2005 to 2007 to develop a comprehensive transit study for the Tri-County Region. This scope of work for this project involved an evaluation of mobility objectives, an assessment of user markets, development and evaluation of service options, and development of a 20-year transit plan for the Tri-County Region with specific recommendations for the next five years.

IDOT hired the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission to handle the Public Involvement Scope of Work and contracted with Perteet Inc. to be the technical consultant for the study.

Teams

This project had a Technical Team and a Public Involvement Team that worked together under the direction of the Project’s Steering Committee.   The Program Support Chief from IDOT’s Division of Public and Intermodal Transportation provided assistance.
