Transportation and Infrastructure
For so many, transportation means opportunity – to jobs, to education, to seeing family. A strong public transit network is essential for any thriving community and is a necessity for countless working families in Illinois. I’m working with local partners to provide and strengthen public transit networks to expand these opportunities to everyone in our District.
Transportation also includes reliable roads and bridges to help commuters safely get from place to place. Now that the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is delivering for Illinois, I’m working to make sure our region has a seat at the table when it comes to vital infrastructure investment opportunities.
On top of roads and bridges, infrastructure improvements also include investments in safe drinking water systems, high-speed broadband networks, and more.
