Here’s something you’ve heard before: It’s Infrastructure Week. For a while there, President Trump was making so many announcements, it felt like “Infrastructure Year”. But this time around, the president isn’t involved.

Morning Shift talks to Kirk Dillard, Chairman of the Regional Transportation Authority—that’s the agency that oversees Metra, Pace and the CTA—about the state of Illinois’ public transit system.
