Applications to the Chicago Department of Transportation for permits under its jurisdiction, which typically are permits to block or otherwise affect public streets in some way. Because all permits start as applications, this dataset also serves as a list of permits granted. See more information about CDOT permits at http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cdot/provdrs/construction_information/svcs/online-permit-portal.html.

Street center lines in Chicago. The data can be viewed on the Chicago Data Portal with a web browser. However, to view or use the files outside of a web browser, you will need to use compression software and special GIS software, such as ESRI ArcGIS (shapefile) or Google Earth (KML or KMZ), is required.

This lists individual Divvy bike sharing trips, including the origin, destination, and timestamps for each trip. Trips are included when there is an starting and end date. Trips using a subscriber pass will include some basic demographic data (gender and age) that is associated with the account. This view excludes those trips. For more information see https://ride.divvybikes.com/system-data.

Map of 811 Chicago Utility Hit Tickets

Cook County Highway Department 2011 construction locations. To view or use these shapefiles, compression software and special GIS software, such as ESRI ArcGIS, is required.

In order to help contractors and private residents avoid existing utility lines (including gas, electrical, and water lines) when digging, the Chicago Department of Transportation maintains 811 Chicago, a free, 24-hour service to private contractors and homeowners in Chicago. Anyone planning to dig within Chicago must obtain a “dig ticket” from 811 Chicago. 811 Chicago notifies all utilities of the impending excavations. The utility owners then send out staff to mark the location of the underground facilities within 48 hours (excluding emergencies), not counting Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

The dataset on which this filtered view is based shows these utility notifications. Since it is common for the same dig ticket to produce multiple notifications, the same dig ticket will appear multiple times and the dataset cannot be used without further refinement to count, map, or analyze unique excavations in Chicago.

This filtered view shows only the most recent notification for each utility. It, therefore, removes some of the duplication in the dataset but still will produce multiple records per dig ticket if multiple utilities have been notified.

See https://ipi.cityofchicago.org/Digger for more information on the dig ticket system.

This dataset shows bus runs held unfulfilled as a result of absenteeism. Absent, in this context, indicates unscheduled days off work. Note: Total does not include bus hold-ins caused by absenteeism related to the blizzard of February, 2011.

OUTDATED, HISTORICAL VERSION -- Point data representing locations of all bus turnarounds, including those that are not located at rail stations. To view or use these files, special GIS software, such as Google Earth, is required.

Electric scooter trips taken under the City of Chicago ongoing program. Similar datasets from the 2019 and 2020 pilot programs are at:

https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/2kfw-zvte (2019)
https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/3rse-fbp6 (2020)

Summary counts of trips between Census Tracts are provided in a separate dataset to allow for providing more data while still protecting privacy. See "E-Scooter Trips - Census Tract Summary" dataset (https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/cini-k95q).

No parking is allowed on Snow Routes when there is two or more inches on the ground regardless of date or time. To view or use this KML file, special GIS software such Google Earth is required. To download this file, right-click the "Download" link above and choose "Save link as."

Taxi trips reported to the City of Chicago in its role as a regulatory agency. To protect privacy but allow for aggregate analyses, the Taxi ID is consistent for any given taxi medallion number but does not show the number, Census Tracts are suppressed in some cases, and times are rounded to the nearest 15 minutes.

Due to the data reporting process, not all trips are reported but the City believes that most are.

See http://digital.cityofchicago.org/index.php/chicago-taxi-data-released for more information about this dataset and how it was created.

See http://dev.cityofchicago.org/open%20data/data%20portal/2019/04/12/tnp-taxi-privacy.html for further discussion of the approach to privacy in this dataset.

Map of Bike Routes (Deprecated November 2021).

All trips, starting November 2018, reported by Transportation Network Providers (sometimes called rideshare companies) to the City of Chicago as part of routine reporting required by ordinance.

Census Tracts are suppressed in some cases, and times are rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. Fares are rounded to the nearest $2.50 and tips are rounded to the nearest $1.00.
