Inner and Outer Circumferential Rail Corridors Feasibility Study (Outer Study Final Report)

This project determined the most viable markets for commuter rail service along the inner (IHB/BRC) and outer (EJE) circumferential rail corridors for the proposed Metra STAR line, a line that would connect suburb to suburb instead of travel in and out of downtown Chicago. The segments identified will be advanced in the planning process through more detailed analysis in the future. The following document is the outer study's final report.
