Ask Carole

Welcome! I created this blog to answer some of the questions people have been asking about the CTA's funding situation. We on the board have asked many of these same questions, and we want to help get the word out. So please feel free to send comments or questions to CTAboard@transitchicago.com, and check back regularly for answers and updates to our efforts to increase transit funding. -- Carole

Board meeting update / contingency plan details

Today the Board formally heard President Huberman’s recommended contingency plan for service and fare changes should CTA not receive any additional funding. I recommend reading all the way through his presentation to see the various options before the Board and to get an updated snapshot of CTA’s fiscal predicament. This presentation is similar to what will be presented at our upcoming public hearings.

The Board also unanimously passed a resolution urging state lawmakers to ensure that all who benefit from transit, including the business community, pay their fair share towards shoring up transit funding.
