It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Thanks to the Illinois’ massive investment in transit, Chicago has a bright transit future, with the dawn coming next year: —50% increase in every-10-min bus routes to 30 citywide —8-minute midday headways on rail lines —24-hour Orange Line service (Red & Blue already have it)

Everyone’s talking about Illinois’ big transit bill, but here’s what you might’ve missed: it also eliminates parking mandates near high-frequency transit stops statewide! ✨🥳 What counts as high-frequency transit? 🚇 Within 1/2 mile of rail stations and bus hubs 🚍 Within 1/8 mile of bus corridors

It's the last week of veto session at the IL Legislature, and they haven't passed a transit reform or funding bill yet. 😱 Call your reps TODAY and let them know you want them to get the job done NOW! Sending an email only takes 60 seconds, and it only takes 5 minutes to make 2 calls
