The 2024-2029 Transportation Improvement Program breaks down into three different categories in order of priority.
"Our top priority is keeping existing infrastructure in good condition while actively seeking ways to make our transportation system safer for pedestrians and motorists," said Jennifer Clark, Public Works and Transportation Committee Chair and Board Member for District 15. "The program is designed to have a wide variety of projects to address local and regional transportation needs."

Preservation projects keep county highway pavements, bridges, bikeways and signals in a state of good repair. These include road resurfacings, culvert replacements and bridge repairs. They are the most common type of project.
![Modernization Project](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/ILLAKE/2024/07/9893805/projects-8_original.gif) 2. Modernization projects focus on increasing safety, reducing delays and improving non-motorized transportation. These include roundabouts, traffic signals, added turn-lanes, bike paths, sidewalks and pedestrian crossings.
![Expansion Projects](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/ILLAKE/2024/07/9893830/projects-9_original.gif) 3. Expansion projects add capacity to the system to reduce traffic congestion. These include constructing railroad/road grade separations, adding travel lanes to a road to eliminate a bottleneck and sometimes re-aligning an existing road.
