"Nothing works without public transportation. I’m talking about housing, healthcare, and education," said Senate Banking Committee Ranking Member @warren.senate.gov to @mbta.com CEO Phil Eng and 650+ #APTAleg25 attendees in DC.

#NITAride? Take public transit, because NITA is law! 🎉

Today, Governor JB Pritzker signed the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA) into law, investing $1.5 billion across IL to fix and fund public transit. Illinois knows: #TransitIsEssential.

Many transit agencies across the nation are dealing with budget deficits. Leaving them unaddressed will hurt riders and transit employees the most. FUND TRANSIT! 🚌🚇🚈🚆 #TransitIsEssential

Spent my Sunday with @sierraclubchicago.bsky.social & @betterstreetschicago.org talking with @chicagocta.bsky.social riders about the revenue and reform we need from Springfield to fix the CTA.

Take quick action with us here: win.newmode.net/icjc/mma

We’re out here flyering at transit stations today, letting riders know about the fiscal cliff that could threaten 40% of bus & train service on CTA, Metra, & Pace. #transitisessential
Contact your state legislators to make transit work better instead: secure.everyaction.com/219m7lxVSkat...

Lawmakers have introduced SB2111 & HB3438—major steps toward coordinated, cost-efficient transit in Illinois. The legislature must pass these reforms & pair them with a $1.5 bil investment in transit by midnight on Saturday, May 31. #FixItFundIt #TransitIsEssential win.newmode.net/icjc/fixitfu...

Transit investment opens doors to jobs in Pennsylvania and beyond. Public transit is built in America and supports manufacturing and supply chains nationwide—driving real economic growth in every corner of the country. #APTAleg25 #TransitIsEssential #PublicTransitImpact

Public transit is built in America. 77% of federal transit funding flows to private businesses, fueling jobs nationwide. We can’t wait to connect at the APTA TRANSform Conference, Sept 14–17, to keep America moving forward.

Yesterday’s #ClimateDayAtTheCapitol highlighted a clear message for Illinois lawmakers: fix and fund public transit to keep our communities connected, reduce pollution, and move toward a clean energy future. #TransitIsEssential #ClimateAction
Climate Lobby Day today!

I’m in Springfield, Illinois for #ClimateDayAtTheCapitol to urge state lawmakers to accelerate #cleanenergy progress, fix and fund #publictransit, and phase out polystyrene foam.
