While the Chicago region’s population grew by 18 percent since 1980, the traffic increased by 66 percent in the same period.

Support transit funding and improvements

Aug 13, 2010 | by Active Trans

Our friends at Moving Beyond Congestion, a campaign from RTA, CTA, Pace and Metra, emailed out an online petition encouraging Congress to pass a fully-funded, long-term surface transportation authorizing bill.

The American Public Transportation Association will present the petitions to Congress on Sept. 22 (which is Chicagoland Car-Free Day!).

Please consider signing the petition and spreading the word.

I want our city budget and policies to prioritize the safety and mobility of our most vulnerable travelers. Active Transportation Alliance’s work advances this goal through their campaigns to improve public transit, win dedicated stated state funding for alternative modes, and advocate for safer crosswalks and bike lanes.
