Furthering its goal of soliciting input and engaging in dialogue with its major stakeholders, Metra is asking its riders, the public, elected officials and others for their help as it begins to craft its first strategic plan in several decades.
The commuter rail agency has set up a brief survey on its website and has scheduled a series of open houses throughout the Chicago region starting next week to solicit public input on a new strategic plan. The strategic plan is a critically important document that will guide the agency for years to come, helping it to prioritize its spending decisions and use its scarce dollars in the most efficient and effective way possible.
