Sen. Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro)

State Senator Terri Bryant is calling on Governor Pritzker to step in and help save the historic Modoc Ferry.

The ferry, a long-standing link across the Mississippi River, is facing possible shutdown due to a lack of funding.

Bryant says the ferry is a vital connection for southern Illinois residents—and if Missouri can help cover its share of the costs, Illinois should step up too.

She’s now launched a petition calling on the Governor to dedicate state funding to keep the Modoc Ferry afloat and secure its future. Access the petition here.
