Metra is one of the largest and most complex commuter
rail systems in North America, serving Cook, DuPage,
Will, Lake, Kane and McHenry counties in northeastern
Illinois. The agency provides service to and from downtown
Chicago with 241 stations over 11 routes totaling nearly
500 route miles and approximately 1,200 miles of
track. Metra operates more than 700 weekday trains,
providing about 300,000 passenger trips each weekday.
The Metra service area encompasses more than 3,700
square miles. Metra owns and operates four rail lines (Rock
Island, Metra Electric, Milwaukee North and Milwaukee
West). Three Metra lines are operated by Metra employees
over freight railroad-owned track through trackage rights
or lease agreements (Heritage Corridor, North Central
Service and SouthWest Service). Four additional Metra
lines are operated directly by freight railroads through
purchase-of-service agreements (BNSF, Union Pacific
North, Union Pacific Northwest and Union Pacific West).

• Every $1 invested in public transportation generates approximately $4 in economic returns.
• One person with a 20-mile round-trip commute who switches from driving to public transit can reduce his or her carbon emissions by 20 pounds a day or more than 4,800 pounds a year.
• Public transportation provides personal mobility and freedom for everyone, including people with disabilities and older adults.
• A study found that compared to drivers, public transportation users were:° 44 percent less likely to be overweight;° 27 percent less likely to have high blood pressure; and° 34 percent less likely to have diabetes.

BENEFITSRiding Metra saves the average commuter more than six days of travel time every year (that’s 12 hours a month) and nearly $2,000 a year, or $166 a month, compared to driving. Twenty-seven additional expressway lanes would have to be added to the existing expressway network to accommodate Metra riders.

HISTORYThe Commuter Rail Service Board, newly created by the Illinois Legislature, meets for the first time.
The Commuter Rail Service Board adopts the word “Metra” as a service mark.
The first locomotive painted with Metra’s blue and orange colors makes its debut. It is named after Kane County.
Metra buys the Illinois Central Gulf’s electric commuter line between Chicago and University Park, with the two branch lines to Blue Island and South Chicago, for $28 million. The ICG’s Joliet to Chicago route, part of the deal, is renamed the Heritage Corridor.
Metra completes the acquisition of the two Milwaukee lines, which had been operated by the RTA and then Metra since 1982.
Service begins at the new Route 59 Station on the BNSF Line. That station is now by far Metra’s busiest.
Metra announces a major reconstruction of the Chicago & North Western terminal at Canal Street and Madison Street.
Amtrak shows off the $32 million renovation of Union Station.
Metra completes the $75 million renovation of the Rock Island Line’s LaSalle Street Station.
Metra announces that it will assume control of the commuter operations on the Norfolk Southern tracks and rename the line the SouthWest Service.
The SouthWest Service is extended from 153rd Street to 179th Street.
Union Pacific Railroad completes purchase of the Chicago & North Western and assumes control of its three commuter lines in Chicago.
Metra launches the North Central Service, the first new commuter route in Chicago in more than 70 years.
A year after completing a major $141 million rehab of the Union Pacific terminal, the facility is renamed the Ogilvie Transportation Center after the former Illinois governor.

OPERATING BUDGET and CAPITAL PROGRAMFor 2017, Metra’s total budget is $1.06 billion, with $781.2 million for operations and $279.5 million for capital. Metra covers slightly more than half of its operating budget with fare revenue, with the rest primarily coming from the regional transportation
sales tax. For its capital budget, Metra relies on federal, state and local funding (including bond programs), with a small amount of fare revenue.

Safe and reliable rail service depends on perpetual maintenance
of capital assets, including track, signals, rolling stock,
communications equipment and buildings. For many years,
Metra has been falling behind on these investments. Metra’s
system has many aging components approaching or past their
useful lives, and federal, state and local funding has not kept
pace with our needs.
Over the next 10 years, Metra needs to invest nearly $1.2 billion
annually on capital improvements:
• $590 million annually to maintain our existing system
• $610 million annually to return to a state of good repair
That’s $12 billion over the next decade.
However, over the next four years, we anticipate having less
than $300 million in funding to spend annually — about $900
million less than what we need to spend each year.
This unsustainable situation threatens the future viability of
the important service Metra provides.
