CTA hosts pop-up events to solicit rider feedback
CHICAGO (WGN) — Transit riders this month have an opportunity to speak with Chicago Transit Authority personnel to offer feedback that will be used by the agency to plan for the upcoming budget and help prioritize future investments and strategies.
The CTA this week announced a series of pop-up 'CTA Chats' at several rail stations and bus terminals, with the first being held Tuesday at the Union Station Transit Center.
The recently passed budget for Illinois' 2026 fiscal year did not include reform or additional funding for the state's transit agencies. In Chicagoland, the Regional Transportation Authority faces a $770 million fiscal cliff and has warned of transit cuts on an 'unprecedented scale.'
'We are in a unique time for transit in our region, and it important that decisions we are making and projects and programs we are prioritizing are grounded in our riders' priorities and vision for the future,' acting CTA President Nora Leerhsen said in a statement.
