On Saturday, May 17, Chicago Public Radio hosts a live remote from the Chicago Green Festival on Navy Pier. Submit your questions for the panel discussion, and you may be part of the audience.
Whether you get around by bus, train, automobile or bike, chances are you've experienced a transit meltdown. Send Chicago Public Radio your best pics of transporting through the city, and they may include one in a slideshow for an upcoming Chicago Matters feature.
Transportation features begin airing Tuesday May 13 and the deadline for submissions is May 12 at 2 pm.
