RTAMS--Another Data Source for Transportation Geeks

Kudos to the RTA and other regional public agencies (CTA, Metra, Pace, ISTHA, NIPC, CATS) for putting together and posting the Regional Transportation Asset Management System (found here)

The RTAMS webpage allows users to access data on travel patterns, capital investments, financial reports, and the like in the region.

Unfortunately, IDOT is not among the participants. Whether IDOT's absence is because it lacks data or because it chooses to hunker down with its data in its bureaucratic bunker or for some other reason is unknown. Hopefully, IDOT will participate soon.
