The STAR Line Business Alliance is a group of concerned corporate citizens who have experienced the effects of increasing highway congestion on their ability to do business in the Chicago region, and have partnered to support Metra's proposed Suburban Transit Access Route (STAR) Line as a critical piece of addressing regional transportation issues. This newsletter will serve as a medium to keep all of the members of the Alliance informed and up-to-date on the project as it moves closer to fruition. We anticipate this newsletter to be distributed quarterly, and the most recent version of the newsletter will be sent to all Business Alliance members.
