SIGN ON: It’s time to speed up Chicago’s CTA!
This year, the City of Chicago and the CTA received $118 million from the federal government to improve CTA operations. We demand the City and CTA spend the funds on hiring more bus and train operators so we can:
Keep up with published CTA schedules
Increase service, including better weekend and evening service, so we don’t we have long wait times
Have cleaner, well maintained buses and trains
Improve safety on public transit
Prevent current CTA staff from burning out due to short staffing
CTA needs to offer more money in signing and retention bonuses to workers now to compete with employers like FedEx and UPS. We want and deserve world class public transit for all Chicagoans but we can’t get there without more operators.
