Our transit network generates prosperity for everyone, not just riders.

• This $27 billion asset generates far more than $12 billion in annual economic benefits.

• Our transit system is at the core of our transportation hub, central to our economic competitive advantage.

• Other benefits include access to jobs, customers and employees, cleaner air, reduction of foreign oil consumption and lots of income from consumer savings due to affordable transit.

Transit oriented development is how much of the region has developed.

• Our transit legacy is the envy of the rest of the country. The hub and spoke transit system has fueled the renaissance of downtown Chicago and helped surburban residents move out of their cars and onto transit for their daily commute.
