The IDOT American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – Contractor/Consultant Reporting application has been developed by IDOT to collect and report data required by the Act to the federal agencies within US DOT, as well as provide information to the general public.

The Illinois Department of Transportation has received funds for infrastructure from the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“Stimulus Bill”, Pub. L. 111-5, H.R. 1, S. 1)”, which was enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by the President on February 17, 2009. 

The Act requires the Department to collect monthly payroll data from the prime and sub contractors who will be performing the actual work. Project status and payroll information must be reported to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the Federal Railroads Administration (FRA) on a monthly basis.
