As a Metra train conductor for over 20 years, Orlando knows how important transit is. Instead of devastating cuts that would impact workers and riders alike, let’s invest in a public transit system that works for everybody. Write your state legislators to fix and fund it at bit.ly/fixandfundtransit

After 1,600 hours of community outreach and planning, Illinois now has the legislation we need to fix and fund our transit system. As Amy Rynell with Active Transportation Alliance says, it’s now time to get this over the finish line – before devastating service cuts of up to 40% begin.

Eight years ago, Wheaton resident Evan Urchell took Metra & walked 40 mins to Northwestern to receive treatment for Ewing's Sarcoma. He says #TransitIsEssential bc of stories like his - "not everyone has easy access to a car." He's calling on lawmakers to fix & fund transit!
