2023 Annual Newsletter

As we enter 2023, the CREATE Program continues to improve freight and passenger transportation and our environment by “Building Bridges” to better connect the Chicago region’s rail system and our communities. The CREATE Program partners look forward to building on this momentum throughout 2023! Modernizing our region’s railroads is a significant endeavor, requiring the close coordination and partnership between the railroads, city, county, state, and federal government. We’re honored to lead this nationally recognized effort! View the full 2023 Annual Newsletter here.
