The Comprehensive Regional Planning Fund was created in Public Act 95-0677, as part of a 2007 revision of CMAP's 2005 authorizing legislation. The Act created a $5 million annual appropriation from the General Revenue Fund intended as stable, dedicated source of funding for effective comprehensive planning throughout Illinois. These funds are disbursed by the Illinois Department of Transportation to metropolitan and rural areas across the state as follows: CMAP receives 70 percent, the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) elsewhere in Illinois share 25 percent, and the State's rural planning agencies share 5 percent.
