DuPage County Transportation Committee Meeting, Tuesday 7/7/26

The DuPage County Transportation Committee met on July 7, 2026, to discuss various transportation-related issues including severe weather response, pedestrian safety concerns, and traffic speed limits. Key procurement actions included the approval of a contract with RTA Fleet Success for fleet management software, a $268,216 contract with Christopher Burke Engineering for phase one engineering services on County Highway 38 improvements, and a $100,000 contract increase for an existing project. Additionally, a $30,000 contract was approved for legal services related to environmental issues, and a $15,000 contract was awarded to Ferguson Enterprises LLC for 2026 billing terms. The committee also received updates on regional transit projects, including nearly $11 million in awards for 21 projects, five of which are in DuPage County. Discussions on speed limit policies highlighted the need for engineering-based studies to justify changes, with plans to present study results at the next meeting. No motions were made to immediately change speed limits, but the committee expressed interest in pursuing data-driven adjustments to improve safety.
