Every Chicagoan Deserves Safe, Reliable Transportation Transportation should never be the reason someone misses work, medical care, school, church, or an opportunity to improve their life. Across Chicago, seniors, people with disabilities, returning citizens, students, and families often struggle to find dependable transportation that is affordable, safe, and available when they need it. Community organizations and churches want to help, but many lack the tools and funding to coordinate rides efficiently. We call on the City of Chicago, regional transit agencies, philanthropic organizations, universities, and community leaders to launch community-centered mobility pilot programs that: - Expand transportation access in underserved neighborhoods. - Support churches, nonprofits, and community organizations with modern fleet management technology. - Fund safe, accessible shared transportation for seniors, veterans, returning citizens, and people traveling to work, healthcare, education, and community services. - Pilot innovative transportation technologies with transparency, public oversight, and community input. - Ensure that rider privacy, safety, and accessibility remain top priorities. Transportation is more than getting from one place to another—it is access to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and opportunity. Chicago has the talent, innovation, and community leadership to become a national model for equitable mobility. By investing in community-focused transportation solutions today, we can create a future where everyone has access to safe, reliable, and dignified transportation. If you believe mobility is a basic opportunity that should be available to everyone, please sign this petition and share it with others. Together, we can build a transportation system that serves every neighborhood and every resident.
