The RTA — the agency that oversees all Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace Suburban Bus services — is facing a $771 million budget shortfall for 2026.

The RTA’s plan to address what it calls the “doomsday scenario” includes cuts to nearly 40% of the region’s public transportation. Rob Keding urges state lawmakers to act before potential transit cuts impact the Evanston community.
