Ride Illinois, along with nearly two dozen other organizations, recently sent an important letter to IDOT Secretary of Transportation Omer Osman and Governor J.B. Pritzker. Collectively, we demand that funds the state will receive from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) be used in a meaningful way to improve safety and accessibility for everyone, especially vulnerable road users (VRUs). Ride Illinois was proud to initiate this effort and take the opportunity to remind IDOT and the governor of the inadequacies of Illinois’ present-day transportation system.
