They do not receive federal funding for operations - paying the people who drive the trains and buses. Nobody does.

The federal government provides grants for capital projects like building new lines or buying new trains or buses. Not operations.

It’s a problem happening nationally, but the federal government has never provided funding for transit operations. (COVID was the exception)

We have been talking about this coming for years, and Illinois is one of the worst offenders in chronically underfunding transit.

We’ve been out there defending trans people, and we were standing with healthcare workers fighting for Medicaid at this very press conference. And what about the 30,000 JB just kicked off healthcare himself?

We’ll defer taking political advice from stan accounts. Pritzker needs to step up — period.
