Inside the challenges plaguing the CTA
Unresolved issues with the CTA, some of which started during the pandemic, are coming to a head on the Johnson administration’s watch.
The Chicago Transit Authority and its leadership are under scrutiny right now for a bus driver’s death on the job, problems with an employment program for formerly incarcerated people, a controversial appointment to its board and service issues like “ghost buses” and long rail waits. Workers, riders and even Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker have been speaking up.
Reset discusses the issues with reporters and a transportation advocate and planner.
