Team Stephens participated in the Amtrak Illinois State Legislators Tour held at Chicago Union Station earlier this week. During the event, attendees learned about the forthcoming Chicago Hub Improvement Program (CHIP), aimed at boosting passenger rail services across Illinois. Participants also had the opportunity to tour both the station and the Amtrak yard.

The team's visit to the station and their engagement with the discussions around CHIP highlighted a focus on regional transportation improvements. The tour offered insights into how the program will contribute to enhancing the state's rail infrastructure and services.

The organizers expressed their gratitude, stating, "Thank you, Amtrak, for having us, and we look forward to seeing all that CHIP will bring to the region!"
