The Campaign - Moving Beyond Congestion

The Campaign

Moving Beyond Congestion is a joint effort between the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), the CTA, Metra and Pace and you to ensure the Illinois capital plan includes $10 billion for transit. Together, we are working to identify the reforms and investments that our transit system needs to meet growing demand and improve service.

Nearly 2 million riders use the system every day and understand the need for new trains, stations, buses and reliable service. But not everyone is speaking up about the need. Help spread the word about improving our transit system among your friends, co-workers, family and elected officials.

Critical investments are needed to keep regional transit moving and build a world class system in Illinois.
