CTA 🤝 Metra 🤝 Pace We've teamed up to make unlimited travel easy.

How’d they do?

We are proud to support the 23rd annual Disability Pride Parade! Our agency's mission is to deliver quality, affordable transit services that link people, jobs and communities. We're committed to making our system 100% accessible to accomplish this mission.

As Nolan intended...

Acting President Leerhsen sits down with Co-owner & Operating Chairman of the WNBA championship-winning team Chicago Sky, Nadia Rawlinson in the latest episode of Moving Experiences: Stories of the CTA.

This Disability Pride Month, CTA Acting President Leerhsen shares the "why" behind the expansion of our ABLE pilot. Keeping bus lanes clear improves service for all transit riders, but its most critical impact is protecting the safety and independence of our mobility and visually impaired community.

Please respect your fellow passengers— it makes everyone’s ride more comfortable and pleasant 💖

Our crews installed nearly 1,000 feet of new Green Line track over this past weekend. This work is just one of six slow zone removal projects in 2026, which will remove roughly six miles of slow zones across six lines.

We're expanding our Automated Bus Lane Enforcement (ABLE) systems to equip a total of 52 buses with camera technology to automatically enforce parking and standing violations in bus and bike lanes, and bus stops.
