Presenter Craig Yunker said that the program is designed to help increase awareness about the ease of using Pace, Metra and the CTA. Craig, who was a former body builder, is quadriplegic as the result of a diving accident. His presentation is based on his own knowledge and experience in using public transportation. Craig is the founder/president of MoreAbled, Inc.
