We are grateful to the Legislature for acknowledging the importance of adequately funding public transportation in Illinois and for recognizing that additional investment is essential to create a system that better serves the northeastern Illinois region. This legislation will allow Metra to maintain and enhance service, avoiding debilitating and difficult-to-restore cuts and workforce reductions that would have only further weakened our system. Instead, we can now look forward to working with lawmakers, our fellow transit agencies, our employees and their unions, and all stakeholders to meet the promise of this significant legislation and establish the world-class system that our constituents and riders need and deserve.

Congratulations to Stadler on opening their new Welding Hall to manufacture the aluminum carbodies for Metra's FLIRT battery-powered trainset fleet!
🌟 The Sparks are flying in Salt Lake City 🌟 This week, we officially opened our new welding hall at our facility in Salt Lake City - and presented our very first locally welded aluminum train car body on U.S. soil. This expansion of our existing U.S. factory brings Stadler’s domestic content up and creates high-skilled welding jobs for the Salt Lake City community. From precision welding to advanced quality controls, this facility is purpose-built to meet the growing demand for modern, reliable passenger trains across the United States. Bright sparks flew as our team celebrated a new chapter in American rail manufacturing. By investing in local talent and infrastructure, we’re strengthening our supply chain, accelerating delivery schedules, and helping public transit agencies provide cleaner, more efficient travel options for passengers. Watch the video for a few impressions from the Salt Lake City welding shop Grand Opening: #Stadler #MadeInAmerica #RailManufacturing #SaltLakeCity #SkilledTrades #PassengerRail

Today we had the pleasure of hosting students from Englewood STEM high school as part of the community programming offered through Chicago Sky WNBA. We were able to share insight into the great work our mechanical teams do every day at our shops and gave the students a chance to tour the facilities at 47th/49th St training building, car shop, and diesel shop. Thank you all for visiting with us!
