Introduced Text

Illinois SB2284 mandates the Department of Transportation to establish an intercity bus program.

Illinois SB2284 requires the Department of Transportation to create an intercity bus program aimed at providing quality, affordable travel options across the state. The program will add frequencies to existing routes, begin frequent departures, and include smaller towns. Bus schedules will be coordinated with intercity and commuter trains, allowing passengers to purchase a single ticket for combined journeys. The Department may implement the program by contracting directly with bus carriers, through Amtrak's Thruway bus program, or with local transit authorities.
