What Transportation for Illinois Coalition does
Mission
To be the recognized authority and unifying voice for transportation investment in Illinois, and to promote and advance transportation infrastructure investment through education and outreach.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Management Fees - A portion of the management firm's expenses were to effectively communicate to the public about the importance of transportation by using their expertise and understanding that cover public policy and other issues.
Other - TFIC relies on the substantive expertise of a transportation policy analyst to inform the public of the coalition's work, such as helping prepare and give numerous presentations to member organizations and community groups. TFIC also hired an outside firm to help the coalition effectively communicate to the public through media coverage about the importance of transportation.
Conferences & Meetings - TFIC held an Annual Conference to educate our members and other interested parties about key transportation investment issues, including federal transportation authorization, revenue sources for transportation investment, strengths and weaknesses and their impact on new ideas for funding transportation, including public-private partnerships and bond banks, transportation planning for the next several years, and other significant issues.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $410k to $201k (−51%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
0% of Transportation for Illinois Coalition’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).
