We are excited to announce that we are part of the Community Alliance for Regional Equity (CARE)! This is a new program from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) to achieve more equitable outcomes and opportunities across northeastern Illinois. We look forward to building deeper connections, improving transportation investment decisions, and strengthening community collaboration.

The Community Alliance for Regional Equity program creates deeper partnerships between community-based organizations and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP). It is part of CMAP’s multi-year investment to make our engagement more equitable and inclusive of communities that traditionally have been excluded from the planning process.

CMAP is northeastern Illinois’ comprehensive planning organization. The agency and its partners developed ON TO 2050, a long-range plan to help the seven counties and 284 communities of our region address transportation, equity, environmental and other quality-of-life issues.

Stay tuned for more information on how you can help us achieve our mission to BUILD A BETTER BATAVIA!
