Mission

TransPORT's enabling legislation mandates the responsibility to stimulate and promote commerce and the shipment of cargo within the District.  It also appoints TransPORT as an advocate for legislation that supports the attraction, maintenence and growth of businesses within the region.  The goal of such initiatives is to generate jobs and real economic value to local and regional economies, while contributing to State of Illinois transportation objectives, and making the USA increasingly competitive in the world market.

TransPORT's purpose is to develop properties or facilities for business entities locating in or expanding within the territorial jurisdiction of the District, to organize and lead key transportation stakeholders in the region, to market regional trade, and to facilitate regional export and import activity.
