Kifowit to Host a Transportation Update with Pace and the Regional Transportation Authority

AURORA, Ill. – State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, is inviting residents to receive an update about local transportation on Thursday, Feb. 20 starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Aurora Library, located at 555 S. Eola Rd. in Aurora.

“Over the years, many of our roads and bridges have fallen into disrepair and our region’s transportation systems have been damaged by insufficient funding,” said Kifowit. “Last year, we passed a funding plan to rebuild our state’s infrastructure and improve our regions public transit operations.”

Before the event, Kifowit will welcome residents for a networking hour starting at 5:30 p.m. until the start of the program at 6:30 p.m. Kifowit will then be joined by representatives from Pace and the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) to discuss local public transit projects, as well as services including Pace On Demand and ADA paratransit.

“Many residents in our area can’t drive and rely on neighbors, family, friends or public transportation,” said Kifowit. “That is why it is important to invest in and improve our public transit systems so that residents can get around more efficiently for everyday errands including grocery shopping and doctors’ appointments.”

For more information about the event, or to RSVP, please contact Kifowit’s full-time constituent office at 630-585-1308 or email RSVP@ILDistrict84.com.
