The CTA said the Pride Parade and the Fourth of July were a huge success on trains and buses.
The Chicago Transit Authority's interim boss boasted a 30 percent decline in all reported crime on the transit system over last year.
The drop was even more dramatic on the Red Line specifically, where Chicago police and the Cook County Sheriff's Office have been increasing patrols since March, following a funding threat from the Trump Administration.
The Red Line has reportedly seen a 47% decline in all crime and a 76% drop in violent crime through June, compared to last year.
CTA Interim President Nora Leershen said this marks the sixth straight month crime on the transit system is down.
"One single crime is one too many, and the perception of safety on the CTA is affected by every single incident we have," Leershen said. "But given the importance of our system to the vitality and strength of our city, it's incredibly important to me that we still stop and note this progress. This is real and it's continuing to sustain itself."

The CTA has been undergoing a major overhaul since the June 1 implementation of the Northern Illinois Transit Authority Act, injecting an extra $1 billion a year to the CTA, Metra and Pace and replacing the previous oversight role with a more powerful transit board.
The CTA closed out 2025 with the most violent attacks on record.
If this positive trend continues, the CTA could finally break a five-year continual rise in crime.
