Year in Review: South Shore Line projects reach milestones

NWI Times – 12/2/19

The South Shore Line's West Lake Corridor project passed two major milestones this year in the Federal Transit Administration's New Starts grant program.


In March, the FTA announced a project rating that moves the project a step closer to receiving federal funding that would cover about 38% of its cost. The FTA's medium-high rating was revealed in the Department of Transportation's annual report on the Capital Investment Grant program, which includes New Starts.
