Metra
 PROFILE
Wend your way into and around the Windy City on Metra (short for Metropolitan Rail), the commuter rail division of northeastern Illinois' Regional Transportation Authority. Metra provides rail service to, from, and around Chicago via 12 lines that branch out from the central business district. Two lines extend into Indiana and Wisconsin. Metra operates part of the 495-mile system directly and contracts the rest to private carriers such as Union Pacific. The agency directs capital improvements, fare levels, and planning for the northeastern Illinois commuter rail system. Metra's board of directors is appointed by the City of Chicago and the chairmen and suburban members of six Illinois county boards.
