Senator lauds legislation Few pay overhauling ailing RTA attention to Senator Jack Schaffer, R-32, lauded passage of legislation clearing the General Assembly last week which overhauls the ailing RTA. After 10 years of working for reform, we have finally seen some results.' the northern Illinois lawmaker said. "In the upcoming months, 1 hope to see improved service .jid reduced fares." Under the plan approved by lawmakers and the governor, a complete new transit authority will be formed with the collar counties and suburbs controlling the agency with a 7-5 vote. In addition, the people of the collar counties will be able to vote themselves out of the new agency after its first year of operation if they don't see im­ proved service. The new bill includes a modified opt out for the collar counties which would allow the of each county to vote Ives out in an election called for by a County Board resolution, under this opt out provision; the county would no longer be a part of the RTA. The v« cent sales tax now imposed by the RTA would continue, but part of the money would be used to continue commuter rail service in the county that opted out and the other money would be used by the county board for other transportation programs. Reforms include limiting administrative costs, enforcing strict controls on labor con­ tracts; abolishing what Schaffer calls the exhorbitant cost of living adjustments for CTA drivers ana other personnel and mandating the use of part-time drivers. Senator Schaffer has been active in the RTA and mass transportation issues since being elected to the General Assembly in 1972. He has been Committee since January of thia year and played a role in in­ suring adequate suburban representation on the RTA Board. "I have spent a great deal of time trying to improve mass transportation in McHenry and Lake Counties," Senator Schaffer said. "The polls I have conducted throughout the district indicate that the people of my area want a voic board and I believe the i was approved will bring forth positive changes for both the city and suburbs." "In the last few years I and many other people have spent a lot of time and ^ort trying to reform the RTA and to provide areas McHenry Tj»fcp 'This legislation is a major step in that direction." "I am particularly pleased with the appointment of Jeff Ladd of rural Woodstock, in McHenry County, to the Interim Board." • "Maybe, just maybe, for the first time, those of us in the collar counties will get fair treatment and if we don't, I will be the first to recommend to the McHenry and Lake County Boards that they pass a resolution to allow the people of McHenry and Lake Counties an opportunity to vote themselves out," he concluded l ',>y.7r, .

McGinley, commander of District 15, on the toll road stated, The percentage of motorists complying with the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit is beginning to decline under 50 percent. "Speed plays a big factor in the s e v e r i t y o f accidents. The impact inside a vehicle during a 40 mile-per-hour crash is equivalent to falling from a four- story buik&ng. As speeds increase, the number of injury accidents increase. We must maintain a firm control on the 55 mile-an-hour speed limit. I will assign additional officers, equipped with radar, vascar and plain cars to supplement our normal complement of patrol officers at peak hours." Slower ' speeds change " driving habits drastically. Drivers are more relaxed when they arrive at their destination, they are more alert and conscious of the traffic around them and thus are able to avoid accidents.
