Automatic Passenger Counters
This map shows the location of the project. For projects that do not have a specific location but affect a line/route or the entire system, either the affected lines/routes are shown, or an entire service area map is shown.
If you select the option to “toggle the benefit layer,” you will see an approximation of the area that will benefit from the project.
Each capital project is measured on 15 evaluation metrics to better understand its impact on the region. Learn more about the metrics and see a legend for all measures here.

Project Description
This project supports a second phase of a pilot program to test state-of-the-art automatic passenger counter (APC) technology. This project provides funds for the purchase, installation, initial licensing, and support services of Metra's Automated Passenger Count system. The system components include both camera-driven and infrared-driven automated sensing devices that count passengers boarding and alighting from trains.
