Public transportation that everyone can access is a critical, long-term investment in our communities. The bipartisan infrastructure law is the largest Federal investment ever in safe, healthy, and sustainable transit options for millions of Americans, options like Pace bus that keep seniors and our neighbors in my community in northern Illinois connected. Not only will the bipartisan infrastructure law continue record job growth by adding millions more good-paying union jobs; it invests $4.5 billion in Illinois for critical upgrades and repairs to aging transit infrastructure. Last week, I visited the Crystal Lake Metra station to highlight the difference this money will make for us at home. Now, Metra can invest in upgrading ADA accessibility and replacing decades-old railcars with cleaner alternatives. I am proud to work with the Biden-Harris administration to improve, modernize, and expand our public transportation infrastructure. ____________________
