4 OVERVIEW Metra is one of the largest and most complex commuter rail systems in North America, serving Cook, DuPage, Will, Lake, Kane and McHenry counties in northeastern Illinois. The agency provides service to and from downtown Chicago with 241 stations over 11 routes totaling nearly 500 route miles and approximately 1,200 miles of track. Metra operates more than 700 weekday trains, providing about 300,000 passenger trips each weekday. The Metra service area encompasses more than 3,700 square miles. Metra owns and operates four rail lines (Rock Island, Metra Electric, Milwaukee North and Milwaukee West). Three Metra lines are operated by Metra employees over freight railroad-owned track through trackage rights or lease agreements (Heritage Corridor, North Central Service and SouthWest Service). Four additional Metra lines are operated directly by freight railroads through purchase-of-service agreements (BNSF, Union Pacific North, Union Pacific Northwest and Union Pacific West). 25 percent of all U.S. freight traffic travels through Chicago. 4

8 BENEFITS Riding Metra saves the average commuter more than six days of travel time every year (that s 12 hours a month) and nearly $2,000 a year, or $166 a month, compared to driving. Twenty-seven additional expressway lanes would have to be added to the existing expressway network to accommodate Metra riders. Every $1 invested in public transportation generates approximately $4 in economic returns. One person with a 20-mile round-trip commute who switches from driving to public transit can reduce his or her carbon emissions by 20 pounds a day or more than 4,800 pounds a year. Public transportation provides personal mobility and freedom for everyone, including people with disabilities and older adults. A study found that compared to drivers, public transportation users were: 44 percent less likely to be overweight; 27 percent less likely to have high blood pressure; and 34 percent less likely to have diabetes

9 DIVERSITY Metra is committed to workforce diversity and inclusion in the employment process. From 2014 to 2016, Metra committed $82 million in contracts to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms. During that time, the value of contracts awarded to DBE firms increased by 31 percent.

12 HISTORY 12 June 8, 1984: July 12, 1985: Aug. 1, 1985: May 1, 1987: Sept. 3, 1987: July 16, 1989: Aug. 9, 1991: Oct. 24, 1991: April 1992: May 28, 1993: December 1994: April 1995: Aug. 18, 1996: Oct. 15, 1997: The Commuter Rail Service Board, newly created by the Illinois Legislature, meets for the first time. The Commuter Rail Service Board adopts the word Metra as a service mark. The first locomotive painted with Metra s blue and orange colors makes its debut. It is named after Kane County. Metra buys the Illinois Central Gulf s electric commuter line between Chicago and University Park, with the two branch lines to Blue Island and South Chicago, for $28 million. The ICG s Joliet to Chicago route, part of the deal, is renamed the Heritage Corridor. Metra completes the acquisition of the two Milwaukee lines, which had been operated by the RTA and then Metra since Service begins at the new Route 59 Station on the BNSF Line. That station is now by far Metra s busiest. Metra announces a major reconstruction of the Chicago & North Western terminal at Canal Street and Madison Street. Amtrak shows off the $32 million renovation of Union Station. Metra completes the $75 million renovation of the Rock Island Line s LaSalle Street Station. Metra announces that it will assume control of the commuter operations on the Norfolk Southern tracks and rename the line the SouthWest Service. The SouthWest Service is extended from 153rd Street to 179th Street. Union Pacific Railroad completes purchase of the Chicago & North Western and assumes control of its three commuter lines in Chicago. Metra launches the North Central Service, the first new commuter route in Chicago in more than 70 years. A year after completing a major $141 million rehab of the Union Pacific terminal, the facility is renamed the Ogilvie Transportation Center after the former Illinois governor.

13 HISTORY Dec. 13, 2000: Jan. 12, 2001: Metra approves a $400 million order to buy 300 cars from Nippon Sharyo, the largest procurement of railcars in Metra history. Metra approves a $79.4 million order for 27 new MP36-3S locomotives from Motive Power Industries. Dec. 5, 2004: Jan. 23, 2006: December 2008: Dec. 3, 2009: August 2010: May 6, 2011: Oct. 9, 2014: Oct. 23, 2014: Nov. 19, 2015: Aug. 25, 2016: Metra shows off a rehabbed Millennium Station. Metra opens an extension of the UP West Line to La Fox and Elburn. A week later, Metra opens four new stations and expands service on the North Central Service Line. On the same day, it expands service on the SouthWest Service Line and opens an extension to Manhattan. Metra provides 86.8 million passenger trips in 2008, the highest ever. It remains Metra s record year. MetraMarket opens at the Ogilvie Transportation Center. Metra approves a $585 million order to buy 160 new Highliner cars for the Metra Electric Line from Nippon Sharyo. Nippon Sharyo builds a factory in Rochelle, Ill., to build the cars. Metra opens the new Lou Jones/35th Street Station on the Rock Island Line near Guaranteed Rate Field. Metra unveils a 10-year modernization plan focused on replacing the agency s aging railcars and locomotives and addressing the ongoing critical need to maintain safe and reliable service. Metra celebrates the opening of the $142 million Englewood flyover, a major railroad bridge that eliminated a significant source of train delays on the South Side of Chicago. Metra, CTA and Pace launch the new Ventra App, which allows Metra riders to buy and display Metra mobile tickets with their smartphones using a credit or debit card or Ventra account. Metra receives the final two cars of its 160-car order for the Metra Electric Line, completing a 2010 purchase to outfit the line with a completely new and modern fleet. 13

15 OPERATING BUDGET and CAPITAL PROGRAM More than 50 percent of Metra s operating costs are funded by fares. For 2017, Metra s total budget is $1.06 billion, with $781.2 million for operations and $279.5 million for capital. Metra covers slightly more than half of its operating budget with fare revenue, with the rest primarily coming from the regional transportation sales tax. For its capital budget, Metra relies on federal, state and local funding (including bond programs), with a small amount of fare revenue FUNDING SOURCES 2017 OPERATING FUNDS 2017 CAPITAL FUNDS $3.7 $1.0 $32.1 $357.5 $419.1 $67.5 $170.9 $4.0 $5.0 ($ MILLIONS) Fare Revenue Sales Taxes RTA Innovation, Coordination and Enhancement Transportation Security Grant Totals $ $781.2 ($ MILLIONS) Federal Transit Administration Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) RTA Innovation, Coordination and Enhancement RTA State of Good Repair Bonds Metra 2017 Farebox Revenues Totals $ $

17 METRA S BIGGEST CHALLENGE Safe and reliable rail service depends on perpetual maintenance of capital assets, including track, signals, rolling stock, communications equipment and buildings. For many years, Metra has been falling behind on these investments. Metra s system has many aging components approaching or past their useful lives, and federal, state and local funding has not kept pace with our needs. Over the next 10 years, Metra needs to invest nearly $1.2 billion annually on capital improvements: $590 million annually to maintain our existing system $610 million annually to return to a state of good repair That s $12 billion over the next decade. However, over the next four years, we anticipate having less than $300 million in funding to spend annually about $900 million less than what we need to spend each year. This unsustainable situation threatens the future viability of the important service Metra provides. 17
