SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WTVO) — Transit workers called on Illinois lawmakers to pass the "United We Move" bill on Tuesday in Springfield.

The bill would create safer, smarter and more realistic public transit for Northeastern Illinois, according to supporters.

The bill would also promote a more reliable experience for riders and reform to combat the $770 million fiscal cliff the system is facing.

Workers argued that transit is key to economic opportunities for the community they serve.

They also called for the creation of a transit law enforcement unit to keep riders and drivers safe.
