The South Shore Line is inviting the community to participate in a survey that will guide the rail line’s 20-year plan.
The line, operated by the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District, provides service between Millennium Station in Chicago and South Bend International Airport, with a total of 18 stops.
The South Shore Line survey will help shape the future of commuter rail service. Community feedback will guide project prioritization, transit accessibility improvement and investments in the Region’s transportation infrastructure. Public input will help pinpoint current needs, identify community priorities and uncover new opportunities. The final plan will involve modernizing infrastructure, increasing accessibility and strengthening connections across Northwest Indiana, South Bend, Chicago and beyond.
The public survey specifically seeks insights from individuals who do not currently ride the South Shore Line. It aims to identify barriers to ridership, community needs and the types of improvements that could encourage greater use of public transit.
The online survey is open to the public until June 19.
