Bill > HB3504

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Department of Transportation to establish a pilot bus program that will provide transportation connections for Northern Illinois University students from the Aurora area to the university campus. The legislation specifically allocates funds to create a transportation service that will help students from the Aurora region more easily access Northern Illinois University. The appropriation is set to become effective on July 1, 2026, and the bill allows for the possibility of using less than the full $250,000 if the full amount is not necessary to implement the pilot program. This targeted transportation initiative aims to improve educational accessibility for students in the Aurora area by providing a dedicated transportation route to their university.
