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

Transit lobby day(s)

Today is another transit lobby day, but as far as I am concerned, pretty much every day is a transit lobby day. Both President Huberman and I have been down in Springfield this week. This is obviously a much slower process than anyone would like, but I am encouraged and hopeful that we are making progress toward a funding solution.

State lawmakers are very much engaged on transit funding and I am pleased that transit is part of the budget discussions. Please don’t let up in communicating with your elected officials about the importance of transit to you. It continues to be enormously helpful.

Until next time…
