The TMA of Lake Cook has been actively involved in Cook and Lake Counties since 1989 to help improve employees commute by working with area businesses, communities, transportation agencies and elected officials. Some of our activities and success stories include:

Shuttle Bug Service
The TMA manages the successful Shuttle Bug service in cooperation with Pace Suburban Bus, Metra Commuter Rail and 36 area employers on 12 routes, which provides shuttle connections from Metra Stations to area business.

Construction Updates
The TMA provides timely updates on local and regional highway construction projects impacting traffic, hosts an annual Highway Construction Meeting and works with agencies such as the Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois Tollway, and Cook and Lake Counties. In 2011, the TMA detailed over 68 major construction projects.

Highway Improvements
Over the years the TMA has worked actively with communities, elected officials, businesses and other groups to improve our highways, reduce congestion and improve travel safety. We actively worked with the Illinois Tollway Authority to help remove the gridlocked Deerfield Toll Plaza, improve the I-94/294 interchange and provide additional access ramps at Lake Cook Road. We also helped leverage funding and support for the widening of the Route 60 Tollway bridge, helped leverage grade separation improvements on Lake Cook Road, Route 22 and other projects. We actively support the Route 53 Extension project and the Lake Cook Road to Willow Road improvements.

Collaborative Efforts
The TMA has strategically aligned with regional and local groups for better planning and increased transportation funding including the RTA’s Moving Beyond Congestion, Lake County Transportation Alliance, Metropolitan Planning Council, Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning 2040 Plan, Transportation for Illinois Coalition, Northwest Municipal Conference and others.

Environmental Initiatives
The TMA has actively participated in the Clean Air Counts and Partners for Clean Air to help leverage business support for environmentally friendly programs.
