Metra, the Chicago area’s commuter train system, is holding a review for its $1-2 million advertising contract.

Metra (formally the Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corp.) has asked a number of local shops if they are interested in participating in the review. A “pre-proposal” meeting is set for July 10 at the system’s Chicago headquarters. Proposals are due Sept. 12, and a decision is expected by the end of the year.

Incumbent BBDS, Chicago, will participate in the review, said Steve Congdon, the agency’s vice president of business development.
