CTA, Metra to get $185 million in federal funding to make stations more accessible – Chicago Tribune/MSN

Combined, Chicago will receive the second-largest bundle of grants, after New York City, under a provision in the massive $1 trillion bill that sets aside $1.75 billion for transit agencies to improve their stations’ accessibility. That program was championed by U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who modeled it after CTA’s own 20-year plan to place elevators in all stations.

 Even Though CTA, Metra have lost most of their riders for good — and are projected to be billions of dollars in the hole — they are still getting $185 million of Biden bailout bucks to feed the dead transit horse

Yep, the correct term is “malinvestment.”
