The funding would improve performance and reduce delays while strengthening the state’s and city’s position as the country’s transportation hub. The effort is supported by $50 million from the Governor’s Rebuild Illinois capital program, which is the largest and only one in state history that touches all modes of transportation. “The Chicago Hub Improvement Program is an opportunity for new federal infrastructure funding to catalyze the rail system this region deserves,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “This proposal would not only make much-needed
