We reached a workforce milestone 🙌 In 2024, we hired and trained 200+ new rail operators and 1,000+ new bus operators. This achievement is vital to delivering more frequent and reliable service.

👏🏽👏🏽 Long time coming & huge opportunity for #ETOD to ensure residents near future RLE stations benefit most from the historic investment. Now we need matching investments in community-led, community-owned projects & policy changes to support #ETOD while preventing displacement

Madrid’s metro was 71 miles long in 1995. That would be the world’s 51st longest today, reasonable considering Madrid is the 57th largest city by population. Yet over 12 years, the metro would ~3x in length at costs much lower than was thought possible. Here’s how they did it🧵

🚨Breaking news from Chicago city hall ❌This week, the Zoning Committee voted to reject a proposal to build 615 new homes in Lincoln Park. 🥊 The mayor has chosen to ignore their recommendation. Now the project will be automatically reported on a 'do-pass' recommendation.

IL is considering implementing “innovative housing solutions” including: -eliminating bans on ADUs -turning parking minimums into parking maximums (!) in multifamily zones -requiring any lot over 5,000 sq ft to allow for multi-unit development

New: Governor Pritzker is announcing an executive order to increase housing supply! He mentioned excessive red tape as a barrier to sufficient housing production! This is huge. More details to come.

You may see something new on Bus Tracker this week—it's part of our battle against ghost buses. We're testing the ability to show when a trip has been canceled. Hopefully you never have to see it, but if you do, it's because we're working to get you more accurate real-time info.
A screenshot of the Bus Tracker website. One bus arrival is marked as canceled in red letters, and a second arrival is in eight minutes.
