Station Improvements

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) continues to move forward with the conceptual station planning process for communities along the Illinois High-Speed Rail Chicago to St. Louis corridor. Funded through the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) program, this project provides for corridor improvements along the Chicago to St. Louis route, including new or restored station facilities with technology enhancements to promote economic development and improve transportation connections. This summer, programming studies were discussed with community representatives and plans were made to continue the design process. Support from the communities has been strong, and IDOT looks forward to partnering with towns along the route to bring improved station amenities to passengers.
