^ Keep in mind TUP and Jive that the FRA will divide the money into 2 pools. One will be a fast track that will reward programs that offer initial State matching funds, and are shovel ready. Another will be fully Fed funded. Illiinois will rank highly in the first category as will Wisconsin's Mad-Milw line. (and California). However Misourri is not quite as bold with their committment, fortunately for them the vast majority of this project is in ILL. Just dont look for that STL-KC line imropvement anytime soon.
