A good reminder for us here in Denver that the entire region already being part of RTD is fundamentally a strength, not a weakness. Any move towards greater fragmentation is one that undoes the decades of work to plan, fund, and deliver transit service collectively.

NITA makes me think of ARTM (Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain/Metropolitan Regional Transportation Authority) Montréal taking over regional planning from AMT (Agence métropolitaine de transport) in 2017, allowing AMT to become RTM (and focus on operating as exo).

Illinois is one of the few US states that has faced the transit funding crisis and found the courage to address it. The new Chicago-area regional agency will ensure that transit investments are optimized for the whole region. A great day.

As Chicagoland transit faced a fiscal cliff last year, my constituents were clear: we need significant and long-term structural changes to our public transit, not a one-time fix. Today, with the launch of NITA, we are one meaningful step closer to establishing the safe, reliable and connected regional transit system that we need and deserve.

Excited for the next chapter of regional transportation with @NITA_Chicago! Like tens of thousands of students today, the CTA was my school bus, and I know firsthand how important reliable public transit is to connecting Chicagoans to school, work, and opportunity.

Affordable = tax hikes, toll increases, road fund raids. The new Northern Illinois Transit Agency starts off by lying to the people.

Last year, our state’s transit faced a doomsday scenario: service cuts and fare hikes that would have left riders stranded. Today, we’re launching the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA) to deliver a reliable, safe, and unified public transportation system for the region.
