Support Illinois State House Bill 2144

Cost to Tax Payers
We the undersigned kindly ask that all Illinois State Legislators please support equal treatment of Illinois' college students. Help Metra extend the current Metra student discount to thousands of college students within Illinois.
I am a college student and live within the Chicagoland region. I recently learned that Metra offers high school students a discount on train fares, and that the State of Illinois provides the funding to offer this generous discount. With the rising costs of education, any discount opportunity is greatly appreciated.
When you think about Metra treating high school students (and even grade school students) better than college students, from a public policy perspective, how does this make sense? Don't college students face higher tuition bills and serious debt? Don't college students pay more sales taxes that support mass transit in our region? Doesn't it make sense for Metra to attract more riders?
Support student equality, environmental conservation, and funding towards education. Please vote in favor of HB 2144.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
