with the note that I think tolling the Kennedy, Ike, Dan Ryan, Stevenson, and LSD would be a better option, these would probably be the options for a downtown cordon that use existing geographic boundaries with minimal new infrastructure, in order of audacity:

Chicago's streets and x-ways are oversubscribed but its transit [email protected], Metra, and Pace--has lots of unused capacity that might absorb some of that traffic if things like chronic slow zones are addressed pronto and region follows global metro leads. bsky.app/profile/thom...
Taking "rapid" out of "rapid transit." Over 20% of @chicagocta.bsky.social usable rail length is classified as being in a slow zone. Capital funding is next big transit challenge to tackle. Accelerating I-290 (Eisenhower/Congress) roadway/transit project addresses ~1/4 of the slow zone trackage.
The T’s dedication to slow zone removal has led to pretty dramatic ridership improvements. It’s a model that should be emulated elsewhere.
