While you’re connecting with 80,000 people who are Active Trans members, event participants, and advocates, you can be part of our effort to achieve these goals in the coming year: • A walking and biking recovery network to protect the health, safety, and economic vibrancy of our region. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the enthusiasm for walking and biking has been booming. To get these new habits to take hold, we need to ensure that high-quality walking and biking infrastructure is there when life returns to normal. • Federal relief for state and local transit to prevent a service collapse. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on public transit budgets at a time when transit is a lifeline for so many people, many of whom live in historically marginalized communities. We must keep trains and buses functioning so that we can continue to reach jobs, doctors, and other needed destinations. • 20 miles of pop-up bus lanes to create a more equitable public transit system. Underlying racial and economic inequities in our region’s transportation networks have been exacerbated by the pandemic. Essential workers, who are disproportionately Black and Latinx, have felt this impact profoundly. Addressing these inequities is a central part of our work. 5 why become a sponsor? Here are some of our amazing accomplishments in 2020: • Fought with a coalition to win $1.6 billion in federal relief for our transit agencies. • Expanded bike access on Metra trains and Metra launched its first bike car. • Won more protected bike lanes in Chicago, including lanes along Milwaukee Ave. • Secured the rollout of two dedicated bus lanes. • Spearheaded an effort to keep bike shops open during the shutdown early in the pandemic. • Held discussions with more than 100 community leaders across the region about transportation challenges, as part of our “COVID-19 Listening Tour.” • Published timely guidelines for safe walking, biking, and public transit travel during the pandemic. • Helping to guide implementation of $105.6 million in new state funds, for walking, biking, and trail projects. We’re very proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish in the past year, but so much more needs to be done. Please join us in continuing to move our mission forward.

  • Friends of the Lakefront Trail: Public Engagement Report
    Friends of the Lakefront Trail: Public Engagement Report May, 2013 THE CASE FOR CHICAGO’S LAKEFRONT TRAIL... Chicago’s Lakefront Trail is the busiest trail in the United States, with peak daily usage reaching 30,000 people at key points. The 18-mile trail is maintained by the Chicago Park District. It’s a popular destination for residents and tourists alike, attracting people from across the region for recreation, transportation and athletic training. In order to understand how the trail can better meet the needs of Chicagoans, Friends of the Lakefront Trail facilitated a community outreach process in 2012 to learn what trail users think about their trail experience. This report summarizes the findings and sets forth principles for improving the Lakefront Trail experience.

  • A Look Back on Eight Years of Progress
    MOVING CHICAGO FORWARD: A LOOK BACK ON EIGHT YEARS OF PROGRESS MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL MOVING CHICAGO FORWARD • A LOOK BACK ON EIGHT YEARS OF PROGRESS LETTER FROM THE MAYOR May 2, 2019 Dear Fellow Chicagoans, It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the people of this great city as mayor for eight years. Together, we have addressed longstanding challenges, overcome old obstacles and confronted new headwinds. At the outset of my administration, Chicago was beset by fiscal, economic and academic crises. Many thought our best days were behind us, and that the ingenuity and ability to rise to meet great challenges that had defined our city for generations was part of our past, but not our future. In response, Chicagoans came together and showed the resolve and resilience that define the character of this great city. Today, Chicago’s fiscal health is stronger than it has been in many years, with a smaller structural deficit, a larger rainy day fund, true and honest accounting of city finances, and dedicated recurring revenues for all four city pension funds. Our economic landscape is dramatically improved, with historic lows in unemployment, the highest level of jobs per-capita in the city in over five decades, and a record amount of corporate relocations and foreign direct investment. Academically, Chicago’s students are raising the bar for success and making our city proud. Every year for the past seven, a new record number of Chicago’s students have graduated high school. More graduates than ever now go to college. Stanford University found CPS students are learning faster than 96 percent of students of all districts in the United States.
