We on the board have asked many of these same questions, and we want to help get the word out.

Springfield update

As you might know, legislative leaders and the Governor reached an
accord late last night on transit funding. Details are currently being
hashed out now down in Springfield, so I can't share specifics yet.
However, it's clear that this is a very positive development. Along
with all of the concerned citizens who care about the health of our
region's transit system, Pace, Metra, CTA and RTA looked to our elected
officials to better fund transit. And our Springfield representatives
stepped up during these difficult budget times. President Kruesi and I
will be working with elected officials to hammer out the details over
the next few days. I'll be sure to update you when I have more
information.
