Contacting local officials about transportation funding

Transit demands have quickly expanded beyond commuter service, and the number of people biking continues to grow exponentially. However, state funding for these modes of transportation has not kept pace, and we are working to address this gap.

You're Needed! Here Are Some Involvement Opportunities

Let people know how you got somewhere

Let people know how you got somewhere

Whether its visiting family and friends or patronizing a business, saying how you got somewhere can get others thinking about mobility options. Most people assume everyone gets to a location by driving but hearing that there are other ways may get them to support it more.

Stay informed by signing up for the Go Evanston newsletter. We will send out updates about city projects and changes to our transit network alongside information about micro-mobility and transit related events.

If you have issues getting around your area or feel unsafe doing so, letting your city representative know is the first step towards changing it. There are ward meetings regularly held to meet them in person, but they can also be emailed at any time. They will either let you know what they can do or forward your concern to someone who has that jurisdiction.

Take part in transit project discussions

City Projects ListTake part in transit project discussions

Multiple public works projects happen every year with a majority of them involving the public right of way. Attending these meeting or writing a response to the proposal can help make sure that the projects account for all modes of transportation

While most major capital projects are federally funded, smaller local projects and transit operations receive a majority of their funding from the state. Write in to your state representative or senator to let them know how transportation funds should be distributed.
