CMAP was established in 2005 as the regional planning organization for the northeastern Illinois Counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will. The organization is responsible for developing GO TO 2040, metropolitan Chicago’s comprehensive regional plan to develop and implement strategies to address the massive growth projected for the region.

The plan is scheduled for completion in 2010 and is expected to shape the region’s transportation system and development patterns, while also addressing factors that will impact the environment, economic development, housing, education, and human services.
