Northeastern Illinois needs more than money to fix its transportation infrastructure. It needs a 21st century regional strategy.
Our region’s legacy assets are reaching the end of their useful life at the same time new demands are emerging. How do we invest in and innovate our transportation system for the next century?
On June 23, join regional leaders and national experts in Joliet for a future-focused transportation conversation. Experts from other regions of the country will share infrastructure success stories and discuss how they broke through the status quo.
Museum doors open at 10:00 a.m. for those who want to arrive early to explore the museum.
The program begins at 11:00 a.m. and lunch will be served.
The future of the region’s transportation infrastructure will be shaped by the conversations had in rooms like this one. Connect with leaders from government, business, industry, philanthropy, and academia for interactive discussions on the specific strategies needed to support growth, mobility, and economic opportunity.
The road ahead will require reinvestment, rethinking and above all, regional cooperation.

The Century Plan is a long-term vision for a better, stronger future for northeastern Illinois. On behalf of the region, CMAP is leading this initiative, which invites voices across government, civic spheres, business, and communities to prioritize what the region will need to thrive decades into the future.
Building a region that thrives far into the future requires bold actions by leaders from every sector, working together. That’s what The Century Plan is all about: sparking honest dialog, game-changing commitments, and a willingness to try new approaches.
