Join the Chaddick Institute for an important and first-of-its-kind gathering of Chicago-area transportation leaders discussing their carbon-reduction strategies. Hear from leaders of CTA, Metra, Pace, and the City of Chicago, who will discuss their initiatives and what they mean for our communities. We’ll learn about strategies to move our transit systems to alternative fuels, including electrification.
