TL;DR

The Illinois transit overhaul takes effect, replacing the Regional Transportation Authority with the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA) and funding CTA, Metra, and Pace with about $1.5 billion yearly, backed by a Cook County sales tax hike, redirected road funds, and a tollway increase, while pledging no fare hikes this year and expanded service.
