Public transit is an essential public utility.
It supports a vibrant economy, getting people to jobs, services, restaurants and entertainment.
It enables equitable access to opportunities for everyone, carrying people across neighborhoods, across town and beyond county lines.
It is a climate solution that also improves public health.
Most of all, it provides affordable mobility. In Illinois, average transit fares are $2.50 per ride. Meanwhile, the luxury of owning a new car comes at an average price tag of $48,759.
Public transit is for everybody. So, let's reimagine how to make it better. For everybody.
