The Alliance is a campaign designed to give transit users a voice in Springfield.  "We will bring you up-to-date on the action (or inaction) in Springfield and give you some tools to push for better service." The meeting, sponsored by Save Chicgo Transit, starts at 10 am Saturday, June 23, DePaul University's Chaddick Institute, 243 S. Wabash Ave., 9th Floor.
