Transit Hearing on Tuesday, Oct 9
On Tuesday, October 9th the Mass Transit Committee of the Illinois house of representatives will be holding a hearing open the public. Th purpose of the hearing is to discuss possible long-term funding sources for transit in Northeastern Illinois. A bill that would provide this long-term funding is not moving through the legislature because of political infighting.
The governor and other opponents of the bill propose to fund transit and other capital projects by building casinos in Illinois.
If funding for transit isn’t secured within one month, CTA and PACE will begin cutting service and raising fares.
Come out to the hearing and support a real solution to transit funding!
