You can find downloadable requests for funding of new or extended bus service.

An example is a 31st route from Cicero to King Dr.

I checked the link and the applications didn't show up today.

Please forgive me.

Anyway, check out the RTA website for this info.

Somehow that died, but checking the links, the one to the Comment page seems to work, and if you scroll down, there is a list of applications.

What was more interesting was looking at the list of 2007 projects. It seems like the main things implemented from that was the Metra Sunrise Express and I-Go. Improvements to 18 and 602 definitely did not happen, nor did the proposed Clybourn bus, and while there is a new 53A schedule, is that because they lost the south terminal loop, or was there any improvement?

As far as the 2008 comment list is concerned, there is one thing close to what people here have been advocating--extending 67 to Ford City. Most of the rest of the stuff seems recycling what CTA previously cut, such as 1 midday, 31, 44 to Downtown (although maybe just to Roosevelt), 54A midday, and the 83 portion of the former 95.
