Suburban Transit Access Route (Metra)

Suburban Transit Access Route (Metra)

The Suburban Transit Access Route is a railway project in outer suburban Chicago, Illinois, USA. On January 30 2003, Metra announced plans to build a new service line that would introduce a new fleet of Diesel multiple unit trains (DMUs) to connect nearly 100 communities in the region with a 55 mile long STAR (Suburban Transit Access Route) line in suburban Chicago. The STAR line will travel along the EJ&E right of way and in the median of the Northwest Tollway (Interstate 90).

The preliminary cost estimate for the STAR Line was $1.1 billion. The project was authorized under the most recent federal transportation funding bill, SAFETEA-LU, in 2005. The project is currently undergoing Alternatives Analysis as the next step in the process to secure federal funding for the project.
