More taxes! Residents of Illinois could soon be charged a “commuter transportation mobility tax“ to pay for Chicago’s public transportation system.
As the city of Chicago looks to capture an additional $1.5 billion in revenue for their public transit system, a new statewide tax is being considered by Democrats.
[Q: are you willing to pay this new tax to fund the Chicago transportation system?]
After the $1.50 per delivery (Amazon/doordash) delivery tax did not make it through the Illinois House of Representatives in time to become Law this past May, Chicago politicians are looking for more ways to tax Illinois residents to fund Chicago’s mismanaged public transportation system.
(Note: The $1.50 per delivery tax, unfortunately is not dead, Springfield democrat politicians plan to bring this back up for consideration in the summer and fall, so you still could be paying that $1.50 per delivery charge pushed by Pritzker and Illinois Democrats)
The new commuter transportation mobility tax is charged to certain employers and self-employed individuals engaging in business in the state of Illinois.
This would not only affect established employers, but also those who are self-employed, gig workers, etc.… 
The RTA board met earlier this month to discuss funding scenarios. Currently Chicago public transportation is $771 billion in the hole, but they’re looking to increase taxes by $1.5 billion total.
