@USDOT
funding for EV charging. Thanks to our federal partners, this will support a strategy focused on equitable distribution, community engagement, and workforce development.
I was thrilled to join CTA, CDOT, Metra, RTA, and early-rising transit advocates to celebrate the first day of the

🚧Resurfacing on N DuSable Lake Drive begins tonight, with evening and overnight work between LaSalle Drive and Hollywood Ave through October. You can expect overnight full closures where work is being performed.
This week’s schedule is available here:

“As other cities were slowing down…Chicago picked up the ball and ran with it.” 🚲
