May 17, 2009: RTA
May 17, 2009 The RTA is making a big legislative push for lots of money. They claim they need $10 billion over five years. They insist that the system is deteriorating at a time when they provide more than 2 million rides every weekday. The three agencies under the RTA—the CTA, Metra, and Pace---serve more than 200 municipalities in six counties: Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, McHenry and Will.
