We have a decision to make in 2007 about our transit network.

Sometime in the next six months or so, the 8 million citizens of northeastern Illinois who own and pay for the RTA, CTA, Metra and Pace will decide to either modernize and expand our transit network or to let it shrink.

The status quo is over and changes are coming.

2007 is the year of decision for all of us, citizens, elected officials, commuters, and businesses, as we decide which path to take.
