I found my answer waiting for me outside of the Pink line and 18 station @Transit4A
A small postcard in my hand that says "Transit for all Chicago" with a background of the Chicago skyline in light blue. There is a protest line of ppl. They are different races races and a person in a wheelchair as well as elderly folks.

Elections have consequences and politics matter for our jobs, Union, industry, communities, and our families. The anti-labor, anti-transit forces are gunning to remove our friends from power. ATU U.S. members contribute to ATU-COPE today at atu.org/action/atu-cope! #1u

As @RepKamBuckner demonstrates here, the solutions are well known and have been for many years. What's missing is political leadership to take on the failing transportation status quo. Together we can build safer and more sustainable streets and neighborhoods!🚶🚲🚍🚉🌎❤️

The lack of attention being paid to CTA service by decision makers is troubling. We deserve a safe, clean and accessible public transit system. I’ve been a CTA rider for 30+ years and it’s pretty bad today. A quarter of Chicagoans don’t have cars. There are solutions.

What happens when Chicago passes an #ETOD ordinance? Communities like Washington Heights and Roseland – home to the $280MM CTA Red Line terminal – will see fewer vacant lots and more transit-oriented development along 95th Street. @elevated_chi

Proud to author this op-ed in @NextCityOrg, as some among us still need convincing on the harms of policing as part of Vision Zero: nextcity.org/urbanist-news/w…

We Need to Stop Traffic Deaths. But Is Policing Really the Answer?

Op-Ed: It's time for the leadership on traffic safety to come from the communities most impacted by traffic violence: Black and Brown people.

People who live near transit can save up to 23% in housing + transportation. That is a lot of 💰 Ask your alderman/woman to support the #ConnectedCommunities ordinance so more Chicagoans can save. Learn more @ elevatedchicago.org/etodpoli… @elevated_chi Data from @CNT_tweets #ETOD

Bus lanes now! I just took action urging @cta @ChicagoDOT to commit to building a network of dedicated bus lanes citywide and Bus Rapid Transit on the busiest routes. We need bold action from our transit leaders that advances equity and sustainability. p2a.co/cwwQY52

Now is the moment to say enough to America’s slowest bus system. We’re calling on @NYCMayor to tell us his his plan for delivering 150 miles of bus lanes! action.ridersalliance.org/be…

In 2021, 83 Chicagoans were killed by cars near a train station, 29 of them while walking or biking. We desperately need the #ConnectedCommunities ordinance to redesign station areas with people, not cars, at the center. elevatedchicago.org/etodpoli… @elevated_chi @activetrans #ETOD

"1,260 bicyclists were killed in 2020, up 16% from the year before & an increase of 44% over the past decade. Preliminary figures recently released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicate cycling fatalities rose another 5% in 2021." npr.org/2022/05/25/109956647…

More cyclists are being killed by cars. Advocates say U.S. streets are the problem

The pandemic got more people riding bikes, but the number of cyclists hit and killed by cars is rising at an alarming rate. "We're buying materials for ghost bikes in bulk," one cycling advocate says.

When Chicago's boulevards were designed in the 1870s, top travel speed was ≈10 mph. And even that was a luxury few could afford. Back then, wide undivided roadways made sense. But not anymore. A sensible redesign to reclaim these treasured spaces for the public is long overdue.

With gas prices surging, shared bikes and scooters could provide needed alternatives to driving — but only if people feel safe and comfortable riding them.  A network of PBLs would help Chicagoans shift short trips from cars to bikes/scooters. 🚲 🛴 🌎 activetrans.org/blog/new-chi…
