accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2000 are highlighted in this second
annual report to the people of Illinois. We fully accomplished the
projects in the state highway program; began Illinois FIRST projects,
such as the Hillside Bottleneck reconstruction; funded public
transportation support facilities and transit vehicles statewide; made
progress toward the development of high-speed rail passenger service;
helped make record-breaking gains in Amtrak ridership; supported major
improvements at 21 airports throughout the state; and maintained a low
traffic fatality rate on Illinois highways.
