The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is developing the 2026 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) for northeastern Illinois. The RTP outlines transportation goals, objectives, strategies, and investment priorities that guide transportation decision making and funding allocation within the region. In accordance with federal rules, the RTP must identify how the region will manage, operate, and achieve goals for a multimodal surface transportation system — including transit, highway, bicycle, pedestrian, and accessible transportation.
The RTP will build on the goals, objectives, and strategies provided in the region’s current comprehensive plan, ON TO 2050. The final RTP will be presented to the CMAP Board and MPO Policy Committee for adoption in October 2026.
