In an effort to kick start the tourism industry in Illinois, the state is launching a new ad campaign this week to encourage Illinoisans to hit the road.

The “Time for Me to Drive” campaign is a take-off of the Champaign rock band REO Speedwagon song “Time for Me to Fly.” It is the first tourism campaign since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
