Illinois Moves toward Rail

Last week Governor Quinn signed HB4078 which allows the Illinois Toll Highway Authority to use all of its existing powers to construct railroad tracks. This legislation has many benefits, but one is to create a means to directly compare the benefits of rail and highways. It creates a transportation authority out of one that advocated for a single mode.

Now we need to find a way to put buses on equal footing.
