Join Lake County Transportation Alliance (LCTA) as we help make Lake County, Illinois a more enjoyable place to live and work. By banding together to set transportation priorities, we can make our voice heard in both Springfield and Washington and effect the changes needed to ease traffic congestion now and build a solid transportation infrastructure that anticipates growth in commercial and residential development.

Our Members

In addition to legislators, city officials and county and municipal planning and transportation agencies, LCTA is working to attract members among those in the transportation business and allied fields, including engineering firms, surveyors, appraisers, trucking firms, road building and road building materials companies, contractors and architects, as well as corporations.

Our Mission
Lake County Transportation Alliance (LCTA) is a public-private advocacy group created to raise awareness and build consensus on development and implementation of short and long-term transportation goals and objectives in Lake County, Illinois.
