Transit Future
Transit Future is a campaign to expand the public transit system in Chicago. The project was launched in 2014 by the Center for Neighborhood Technology and the Active Transportation Alliance.[1]
It is modeled on a successful campaign by Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa that built public support to raise funds for major transportation investments.[2] Prominent supporters of the Transit Future initiative include Rahm Emanuel, Toni Preckwinkle, Jesús "Chuy" García, and various business and civic groups.[3][4]
Advocates have suggested that Cook County establish a "dedicated revenue stream" of some sort to pay for the transit improvements.[5] They argue that compared to peer cities, Chicago has one of the lowest rates of per capita spending on transit.[6][7]
