(This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed effective date ) Sec. 2.06.2. Pedestrian access to transit. (a) As part of its Strategic Plan, the Authority shall identify and prioritize sidewalk and other improvements needed to provide safe pedestrian access to transit service stops. (b) When any unit of local government in the metropolitan region undertakes a new construction or reconstruction project on a roadway under its jurisdiction that has bus stops, rail stations, or other fixed location transit service stops where a person can board or alight public transportation vehicles or that intersects with a roadway that provides access to the transit service stop within one-quarter mile, then the project scope may include the addition of sidewalks or shared-use paths to connect the transit stops to any existing sidewalks or paths within 500 feet of the project. The unit of local government in the metropolitan region may also include the addition of concrete sidewalk boarding areas, which may connect to the sidewalk, for any existing or new transit stops within the project limits and may add a shelter, if appropriate, based on rules the Authority develops for transit service stops. (c) If a unit of local government in the metropolitan region includes a project listed subsection (b) in its construction or reconstruction project, then the unit of local government may seek reimbursement from the Authority for capital costs associated with the requirements of this Section, including signal improvements, ADA accommodations, and other pay items appurtenant to the construction of sidewalks, shelters, and concrete boarding areas. If right-of-way acquisition is required to construct the improvements, then the unit of local government may elect not to include these improvements in its construction contract. Units of local government in the metropolitan region shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Department of Transportation in carrying out improvements under this Section. (d) The Authority shall, by ordinance, provide rules for the program described in this Section, including rules restricting reimbursement to pay items not already required by the Department of Transportation, and it may elect to establish an annual not-to-exceed amount for the program and require cost-sharing by grantees. The Authority shall use only capital funding for any program established under this Section.
