Overview
The DuPage Council of Mayors, operating through the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference, programs federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funding for local road, transit, and trail projects in DuPage County. The Council works through the Transportation Technical Committee to identify and address transportation network improvements.
As one of 11 sub-regional councils, the DuPage Council represents municipal interests on transportation issues through the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), the region's metropolitan planning organization. Staff also assists local governments with other federal funding sources, including the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program, Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP), Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), and Safe Routes to School funds.
