State roads aren’t just point A to point B routes for big business and ensuring a stable economy, they’re vital in ensuring a safe journey for those that matter most — our loved ones.
Join Omer Osman, secretary of Illinois Department of Transportation, as he unravels his transportation agenda, including updating our infrastructure to make it a “21st Century transit system” all while giving Illinoisans a reason to “raise their family and stay in the state of Illinois.”
Osman highlights IDOT’s partnership with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to build a “futuristic” autonomous vehicle track, known as the Illinois Autonomous and Connected Track in Rantoul, Illinois. He shares how this effort will advance mobility and “sustain” our freight ensuring feasible movement of people and goods for Illinois families and businesses for years to come.
