It was great to run into Senator Guzman's constituent and my former staff member, Nura, on the blue line on the way back from the rally to fix and fund public transit!

I spoke with @Governing Magazine about the three year process that lead to the passage of HB3438 in the Senate, a robust package of reforms and funding to make our public transit system safe, reliable, accessible, and integrated. https://t.co/PTuJa41NRa

This weekend our West Ridge community was struck by an act of gun violence when a member of our vibrant Orthodox Jewish community was shot while walking to his synagogue. I am devastated this violence took place within our neighborhoods, especially during a religious holiday.

I am encouraged by the group that has been nominated to the @RTA_Chicago Board by @ChicagosMayor. They represent the diversity of perspectives, from business to labor and beyond.

Good morning! I made the transfer at Clark/Lake to the Green Line on my way to celebrating 90 years of the Metropolitan Planning Council.

I had a lot of company as it was great to see folks using public transit to get to their job, school, and much more!

It was great to be on a packed blue line train this morning on my way to meeting with the Civic Federation to discuss the work we need to do to improve and properly invest in our public transit system!

My son, Rohan, and I are excited to ride the train down to the NASCAR festivities today!
