Systemwide Network Plan

In Metra’s 2023-27 Strategic Plan, My Metra, Our Future, Metra adopted a vision statement in which we aspire to provide regional rail service. Our evolution toward a regional rail service model has already begun with the schedule enhancements implemented over the past few years, but in order to understand what shape this evolution should take on each of our rail lines, Metra initiated a Systemwide Network Plan (SNP). The SNP will identify how Metra can better service changing travel markets with regional rail service, and it will guide Metra Capital and Operations for the next 20+ years.

Virtual Public Meeting

A Virtual Public meeting was held on Thursday, May 30 to discuss the Systemwide Network Plan in more detail. A video of that meeting is posted below.

 

Metra will also be reaching out to other stakeholders to solicit their feedback during this study, and we anticipate another round of public outreach in early 2025 to give the public and key stakeholders the opportunity to provide feedback on proposed service concepts.
