Did You Know?

Only 0.7 percent of federal transportation funds are spent on improving pedestrian facilities.

Commuting by boat

Did you know that Wendella Boats have been offering water taxi commuter service in Chicago for nearly 50 years?

Did you know you can take a water taxi between the Loop and Chinatown?

Yeah, I didn't either. At least not until I read the article about Chicago's water taxi services that recently appeared in Active Trans' member newsletter.

The article was written by volunteer Modeshift contributor, Mary Chris Jaklevic.

Take a ride before the season ends. While Shoreline Taxi is done for the year, Wendella keeps the propellers spinnning until Thanksgiving.
