The resolution said that federal, state and "transit funds" should be sought to pay for the project. It also said the Emanuel administration's Infrastructure Trust should study possible creative financing options to pay for the premium express train service between O'Hare, Union Station and the McCormick convention center on the South Side lakefront. One of the benefits, the resolution said, would be direct South Side Metra service to O'Hare, using an elevated freight line along 16th Street from the lakefront to Halsted Street and connecting ramps.
