Abstract
The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority maintains 294 miles of roadway situated in the heavily urbanized northeastern Illinois region. Within the vicinity of the network, there are a diversity of organisms and habitats. There are 2,442 element occurrence records (EOR) of 113 species within 1-mile of a toll road and numerous natural areas, forest preserves, and state parks, including 9 high-quality wetlands and 112 highquality terrestrial communities, and numerous Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Federally endangered and threatened species in the corridor include: Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake (EMR), Rusty Patched Bumble Bee (RPBB), Hine’s Emerald Dragonfly (HED), Black Rail, Indiana Bat, Northern Long-eared Bat (NLEB), and Eastern Prairie Fringed Orchid (EPFO).
