So, with the MMA act dead in the water, it's time to call or email your state reps and the governor's office to make sure we don't fall off the fiscal cliff. Even if you don't live in Illinois, being a tourist who uses the system should still call, it seriously helps. - ThreadSky

I plan on using a specific script.

Hello,
My name is [Name] and I am calling on behalf of an issue that affects everyone in Illinois.

In 2026, the agencies under the RTA umbrella (CTA, Pace, and Metra) are approaching a fiscal cliff. If they don't find the funding, this will lead to a 40% cut in service across the board. If this happens, millions of hardworking Illinoisians will lose a key mode of transportation.

This will lead to more people on the roads and more congestion. I am calling on you to do something to make sure this doesn't happen. While SB3936, the proposal to create the Metropolitan Mobility Authority has stalled out, there are still other opportunities to fund our transit system.

Please do the right thing, and make sure our transportation system gets the funding it deserves.

But this is a time where a few key calls to a few key senators/representatives can get this off the ground and at least funded for a few more years.
Seriously, calling can change policy. It does work.
