Northern Illinois Commuter Transportation Initiative
- Northern Illinois Commuter Transportation Initiative
-
The Northern Illinois Commuter Transportation Initiative (NICTI) is a body formed from county and municipal governments and agencies in the north-central region of the U.S. state of Illinois, defined as those areas to the north and west of Chicago metropolitan area, principally Rockford and Belvidere. The mandate of the NICTI is to investigate regional transportation options for linking the Rockford area with Chicago.
Proposals
Commuter rail
The NICTI has studied the possibility of creating a commuter rail link between Rockford and the western Chicago suburbs. Rockford has not had passenger rail service since 1981, when Amtrak discontinued the Chicago–Rockford–Dubuque Black Hawk. The new service would run east from Rockford through Belvidere to the Big Timber Road station in Elgin, which is the western terminus of the Metra Milwaukee District/West Line, which runs from Elgin to Chicago's Union Station. NICTI projects a daily ridership of 5,200.[1]
