It was a huge win when the Illinois General Assembly recently passed the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA) Act—a landmark law delivering $1.5 billion in annual investments to strengthen, modernize, and expand our state’s public transit system.
This victory didn’t happen by accident—it happened because of the coordinated effort of advocates like you working together with a coalition that we helped lead.
It also happened because lawmakers listened to their constituents and recognized the game-changing power of reliable, well-funded transit. Join us in thanking the leaders who made this historic milestone possible.
Take action now to thank lawmakers who stood up for sustainable transportation across our region.
Thirty-six members of the Illinois State Senate and 72 members of the Illinois State House voted to save and strengthen public transit.
Add your voice to thank these lawmakers for standing up for riders—and urge those who voted “no” to do better next time.
Together, we can keep Illinois moving forward.
