We could extend this project farther and mandate southbound lanes, but that would impact the driver's right to speedy travel, which shall not be infringed.

Here's what Chicago transit experts and advocates have say about the plan for a bus-only lane on Michigan Avenue.

We could exercise our statutory authority to preempt aldermanic prerogative and home rule authority to create BRT on Western Avenue, but we wouldn't want to deprive Chicago urbanists of the opportunity to grovel in a nonbinding popularity contest.

We hear you about bus lanes, and we could flex our statutory authority to build them, but have you considered that it would make car drivers mad?

We've sorted out the first meeting, coordinating speakers from across Illinois who are all going to talk about the wonderful opportunity of a new transit agency. And we're going to broadcast this to the world in glorious 100x56 resolution. God help anyone that wants to see who's speaking.

Now that the dust has settled, we're proud to unveil our first collab! In collaboration with IDOT, we're bustituting the Blue Line Forest Park branch! This upgrade will provide better headways and more consistent on time performance. We hope to see you on the bus soon!

The NITA bill and effort won a Climate Action Hero Award tonight Deputy Governor Bria Scudder accepted the ward on behalf of the group of advocates and legislators. The legislators we invited couldn’t make it because they’re in Springfield this week.
