Illinois is home to one of the largest transportation systems in the nation. It includes roads, railways, transit, aviation facilities, waterways, bicycle lanes, pedestrian accommodations, logistical ports, and other intermodal facilities. The condition of the state’s transportation infrastructure is critical to moving people and goods. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is responsible for maintaining federal and state highways in Illinois, outside of the tollway system. This means the activities of IDOT affect nearly everyone in Illinois and are a key driver of the state’s economy and overall quality of life.  

IDOT has contracted with the University of Illinois Springfield Survey Research Office to measure how Illinois residents rate the services provided by IDOT. The results from this study will identify those areas where IDOT is doing well, as well as those areas where the public feels IDOT needs to improve. This will help IDOT in establishing priorities and investing taxpayer dollars wisely.
