South Suburban Transit Town Hall
Start: Saturday, August 24, 2024•11:00 AM
End: Saturday, August 24, 2024•12:30 PM
Our state’s public transportation system has been in crisis for a long time. Service cuts to Metra and Pace have made it almost impossible to figure out when it makes sense to travel. Gaps between trains and buses make it so that taking a trip to the city, or even a different suburb, requires hours of waiting between rides. Inadequate public transportation options force us to waste time and money driving everywhere, which pollutes our air.
To make matters worse, the federal money that kept Metra and Pace afloat during Covid is about to run out. In 2026, our already-underfunded public transit network will run out of money unless we get our state legislators to fully fund the world-class public transportation Chicagoland deserves. Together, we can build a new transit system that gets all of us where we need to go. But we need your input to do it!
On Saturday, August 24, at 11:00am, join The People’s Lobby and State Representatives Will Davis and Eva-Dina Delgado to discuss how we’re going to rebuild public transportation for Chicagoland. This is an opportunity to tell your legislators directly what you need, and build the people power we need to get it done.
