Transit Future

Building on the success of Thursday’s press conference and continuing in our efforts to make transit a priority in the current legislative session, this Wednesday June 20^th at 11 AM in the Illinois Capitol we will be holding another press conference with environmental leaders and transit advocates. The focus of the press conference will be similar (environmental impact of proposed service cuts and fare increases for all three service boards) but will also highlight the current deadlock on transit funding and reform. We are also planning on meeting with legislators before and after the press conference while in Springfield if they are in session.

We will be taking the 7 AM train from Union Station and returning that same day on the 4:57 train if anyone is interested in traveling with the group.

If you are unable to travel, please consider sending a representative from your organization or asking your staff in Springfield to attend. To RSVP or if you have any questions, please email me or call me at 773.269.4043.
