    • Abstract:
      The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (Authority) is a user-financed administrative agency of the State of Illinois whose purpose is to operate, maintain and service a system of toll roads located in northern Illinois. The Tollway system is an important component of the transportation network. When it opened in 1958, it was envisioned as a high-speed bypass around the urban core of Chicago. However, over the last four decades, the Tollway system has evolved to not only provide this function, but to also serve both commercial and commuter-oriented traffic within the Chicago metropolitan region. Today, the Tollway system provides high quality, safe, and efficient transportation in the regions it serves by effectively managing and allocating its resources. As required by the Toll Highway Act, the Authority, with the assistance of its Consulting Engineer, Consoer Townsend Envirodyne Engineers, Inc. (Consulting Engineer), has developed an assessment of the overall condition of the system and prepared the 10-Year Plan. The 10- Year Plan is based on anticipated needs for the 10-year period beginning in 2001 and it identifies, prioritizes and estimates costs for and schedules projects to address those needs. In order for the Tollway system to remain a key transportation facility in northern Illinois, a major investment in its infrastructure will be necessary. However, Tollway revenue is projected to grow only marginally in the future. As a result, funding will not be sufficient to finance the level of activity required to improve or maintain the level of service and physical condition of the Tollway system unless additional revenue sources are found. Based on current revenue projections, the Authority’s current five-year program is fundable through 2004. Projects to address identified needs beyond 2004 are not fully fundable without additional sources of revenue.
