Public policy is one area where lawmakers can send a message to entrepreneurs that Illinois is the place to nurture and grow their business. Illinois should continue to establish and embrace a climate where businesses can succeed or fail based on the merits of their ideas. Opportunity exists to foster innovation and competition, to the benefit of consumers throughout the state.

While ridesharing in Illinois is only three years old, Uber is already making a significant impact in Chicago.

$192,000,000 in economic impact for the City of Chicago in 2014

500 new Chicago headquarters jobs to be added by the end of 2016

2,900 full-time equivalent jobs created in 2014

95% of uberX partners live in neighborhoods and suburbs underserved by taxis

Sustain the HB 4075 veto to provide new, innovative transportation options across the state while growing the Illinois economy.
