How You Can Help

The Illinois General Assembly will be debating the future of our transportation systems during the Spring legislative session of 2007. (Early February through late May.)

It is crucial that you tell both your State Representative and State Senator that you want high-quality trains to be included in whatever package they put together.

The best way to communicate your desires is with a letter. Email works too, but letters are much more effective.

You can get their contact information at www.vote-smart.org

You can download a sample letter here.

Also, you can join our email listserve to stay up to date on the issues here.
