The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) is the unit of local government charged with regional financial and budgetary oversight, funding and transit planning for the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Metra and Pace Suburban Bus and Pace Paratransit Service (also known as the Service Boards). The RTA region’s system provides more than two million rides each weekday on bus and rail services in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties.
How can we get the word out to more communities? Uber is not the answer. Also, politicians should fight for expanded routes in Transit Deserts. So, let's revive Transportation Tuesday because Transit Is The Answer. Right? Right. 🇺🇲🚏🚌🛂🚉✊
There is no climate crisis, it’s a hoax. And transit doesn’t exist everywhere. The point of this propaganda is to take away Americans’ freedom of movement.
Could we just have staff know about and let me use, the wheelchair ramp on the L? No staff are trained to use it, the train operator has to do it and by then, your trains are late.

I grew up in the area, and live and work in the city (for now...), and I'm into the idea that expanding public transit--especially to low income areas in the city--would decrease inequality, decrease crime, and increase tourism. Is there anyone from the RTA I could talk to about Chicago-specific plans?
I've seen your videos in the past couple months about the importance of investing in our transportation but I'm not really seeing the purpose of this campaign other than raising awareness. Are we specifically targeting lawmakers and letting them know this is what the people want? Do you have Chicago region-wide petition that people can sign to let our lawmakers know we want investment in our transit? It seems that you guys have a great outreach and i think it would be great to collect signatures from people because in reality a lot of people don't contact their lawmakers until after the fact when it's too late or not at all but they'd probably much rather sign a sheet stating they are for it. Just a thought.
It wouldn't surprise me. Gotta use nice cameras, pay for stock footage (the shots they used looked expensive) and royalty free music, get publicity releases, and the voice actor.
Plus having to find the camera operators, sound recorders/mixers, video editor that's a couple thousand at the least for each crew member who worked on this for a production of this scale. I do freelance video and if I was working on a project for RTAChicago I would expect to be getting paid a good amount of money for the work I was doing. If you are into indie films I suggest checking out my channel I got some indie films & videos for you to checkout from the Chicagoland area. Appreciate you being understanding it's hard for some people who don't work in video production to understand why video makers charge what they do but if you really broke it down it's more understandable.
