MPC's recommendations in this May 2008 report offered a package of policy and revenue recommendations with one common goal: to improve Chicago’s transportation network to ensure the region’s continued economic growth. Without new and progressive transportation policies and sufficient revenue, Chicagolands' economy will stagnate or slide backward, spurring an exodus of jobs to other regions willing to make policy changes and identify needed revenue.
