Chicago’s transit remains a treasured asset of our region - one that few other locales in the nation can compete with. To truly claim a world-class system, though, we need leaders to hop on board who are serious about transit.

@chicagocta.bsky.social Please explain the consistent gap between scheduled and actuals?!?

A Loud Case for Quieter Trains substack.com/home/post/p-... The city of Chicago can be loud. The CTA's ear-piercing screech is part of the problem. Noise ~ quietly ~ shapes how riders, neighbors, and workers experience transit today, and whether they support it tomorrow.

Stay in your lane or pay the fine. The initial results for the City's Smart Streets enforcement pilot are promising, hopefully paving the way for effective bus-priority streets citywide. chi.streetsblog.org/2026/01/28/s...

What would it take to make some of these high speed rail? Better alignment? Electrification? @hsrail.bsky.social

Calling this "a walkable, transit-oriented district" without any serious consideration of restoring the Green Line connection to the MED means it's not really transit-oriented at all

A better future is a courtyard future. Livable microcosms, with green space, business, and recreation. Chicago's previous industrial riverfront will be the next big investment property boom. Shoutout to @urbancourtyard.bsky.social and TreasurySpace for the render tool!

Crashes like these are a costly reminder of the pitfalls of at-grade track. We should prioritize elevating the brown at the far NW and with that, extend it to Jefferson Park wgntv.com/news/chicago...

Don’t miss my recent interview with @chicago2100.bsky.social where I discuss the role of a county commissioner and my vision for economic and population growth in Chicago by increasing the housing stock, ending tax breaks for vacant land, and more. Read full interview below! shorturl.at/JUR76

Cities like Chicago get better when vacant land is redeveloped into a riverfront hub: Housing, business, recreation, transportation

Goooood morning Chicago. Can you believe Millennium Park used to just be a big parking lot

This type of plaza should be at every major intersection with Lincoln Ave. Some would be really easy, like at Ashland.

One day, the whole Chicago river can be an attraction like this for recreation, business, and more. Lets clean it up and shape that future. Shoutout to Friends of The Chicago River for their Advocacy work and Wild Mile for showing a working prototype.

Here’s how easy it’ll be to get to Soldier Field once we #BuildTheTunnel: • From X1/X2/X3/X4: direct service to 18th • From CTA: CrossTowners operate every 7.5 minutes between Roosevelt and 18th • From X5/X6/all other Metra: CrossTowners operate every 7.5 minutes between Union Station and 18th 🐻⬇️

@chicagocta.bsky.social a How do we expect to grow ridership when mid-day headways are 15 minutes on the 2nd busiest line?

Have input for Chicago's Better Streets for Buses Plan? The Bus Priority Corridor Study is exploring ways to make bus travel faster, more convenient, and more comfortable for riders. Tap the link below to provide input www.menti.com/algv7baftywz

Thank you CMAP for the beautiful 2045 plan. I think it should also include a transitway connection along the St Charles Air Line Bridge or via #BuildTheTunnel to Connect Southshore transit with union station and beyond. See the @starlinechicago.bsky.social Proposal!

We wouldn't be so addicted to overturning foreign countries for oil if we weren't as fossil fuel reliant. In large part from car dependency

I wrote a little thing on the best BRT I've seen. nikhunder.substack.com/p/a-great-bu...

Beauty in a city makes existing as a pedestrian more enjoyable. Imagine more streets with tree cover, benches, and small business. What would you add to this Loop street?

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Chicago invested $3M+ in Divvy this year, incl a $550K operating subsidy. That delivered: • 9,200+ annual price freezes ($143 vs. $159) • 5,500+ discounted $99 memberships • 48,000+ capped e-bike rides (free minutes 31–45) • 35,500+ free unlocks in Equity Priority Areas nabsa.net/2025/12/18/d...

New from me! Chicago has far too many bus stops to provide efficient service for its riders—nearly twice the national standard. I reimagined what Chicago's bus network could do to make it look like its peers. citythatworks.substack.com/p/a-plan-for...

📢 The RTA Board has adopted the 2026 regional transit operating budget and capital program. With the fiscal cliff averted after the signing of the NITA Act, the budget highlights service and safety improvements, and the transition to a new regional agency. www.rtachicago.org/about-rta/pr...

Lifted truck with virtually no sight line to the ground in front of them = a perfectly safe vehicle suited for busy city driving

When people have viable alternatives to driving, they will do so. Decreasing traffic by increasing transit/ bike share isn't necessarily intuitive, but it works

Very disappointed to see this community input limited to aesthetic design. This corridor needs real infrastructure improvements for transportation efficiency and safety, like bus lanes and shorter crosswalks. All else is secondary

Hey Chicago if you use the North Ave Corridor, especially between Kedzie and Kostner, please fill out this survey about the plans for corridor improvements: www.surveymonkey.com/r/HW52FV2

Step 1 to saving and funding transit. Next step would be to commit to capital projects to improve and expand the network! Chicago 2100 is the way forward www.change.org/Chicago2100

There is a meeting tomorrow for the Humboldt park North Ave streetscape project. 6pm-8pm at Mercado del Pueblo. Tell them you want bike/bus/ped infrastructure! #bikechi www.chicago.gov/city/en/site...

Take action and tell City Council and Mayor Johnson to not cut funding for safe streets: activetrans.quorum.us/campaign/150...
