Welcome to the website of the DuPage Area Transit Plan! This website was originally created to inform citizens, employees, business and community leaders, and visitors of the Transit Plan development process. The plan is undergoing its first update since its adoption in 2002. Please check back to this website for more information.
About the Plan
An efficient and well-functioning transportation system is crucial to maintaining economic vitality and a high quality of life in the DuPage County area. The DuPage Area Transit Plan originated from the recognition that simply constructing larger roads would not meet the area's future transportation needs. More About the Plan.
Transit Plan Recommendations
The Transit Plan recommends three "layers" of transit service:
- Circulators, local bus services that provide trips within a community or transfer opportunities to other services (major bus routes or Metra trains). More about Circulators.
- Connectors, which run north-south or east-west on major arterial streets. More about Connectors.
- Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), which provides high-speed connections between Naperville, Oak Brook, O'Hare, and Schaumburg. More about BRTs.
Also, the Transit Plan recommends many transit-supportive features, such as bus shelters, park-and-rides, sidewalks and bicycle facilities, and Transit Oriented Development land use.
