Federal funding for Chicago Transit jumps 5,000% for operating expenses – Center Square

In 2021, CTA ridership continued to decline. Total ridership for the system decreased another 0.8% from 2020. Going into 2022, the agency continues to rely upon COVID-19 relief money to cover a projected $456 million budget deficit. According to CTA, the federal money is what allows the agency “to continue providing full service.”

Lori will start paying people to ride the trains. As ridership inches up she can claim Chicago is Back! She’ll be a given an award by FJB. She’d gladly partake in a dog and pony show. Joe can sniff her head!
