LCTA joined the Transportation for Illinois Coalition for their annual Lobby Day in Springfield on March 5, 2024. More than 65 TFIC members from across the state heard from IDOT Secretary Omer Osman, Leader Hoffman, Senator Villivalam, Representative Delgado, and Senator DeWitte before meeting directly with legislators to talk about the importance of our transportation infrastructure.

LCTA’s Annual Meeting gathered transportation and transit leaders from the local, regional, state and federal level! LCTA held another successful Annual Meeting on Friday, November 17, 2023 with an outstanding agenda and large crowd of attendees. The Annual Meeting got sponsorship support from: Alter, AAA, TranSystems, Pace Van Go, and Civiltech. Thanks to Senator Don DeWitte for joining us, and to Rep. Laura Faver Dias, Congressman Brad Schneider, and U.S. Senator Dick Durbin for their video updates. We are grateful to Illinois Secretary of Transportation Omer Osman, Deputy Secretary Jason LaMarche, and Director of the Office of Intermodal Project Implementation Jason Osborn for their updates from the Illinois Department of Transportation. We welcomed Lake County’s slate of transit board leaders including Pat Carey from RTA, Melinda Bush from Metra (Metra Slides), and Linda Soto from Pace (Pace Slides) for their insights. We were pleased to have Shane Schneider, Lake County Engineer and Director of the Lake County Division of Transportation with us to share a presentation called Advancements in Safety, Technology & Multi-Modal Infrastructure. Lastly, we were honored to have a keynote presentation from Raffi Freedman-Gurspan, Deputy Director of Public Engagement with the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT Slides). Thanks to all of our speakers and presenters for sharing their information and expertise with our membership. We’re already planning for another action packed agenda for next year!
