CTA President Dorval Carter Retires to Lead Saint Anthony Hospital Amid $577M Budget Shortfall
Jan 13, 2025, 04:25 PM
Dorval Carter, President of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), has announced his retirement effective at the end of the month. Carter, who has been at the helm of the CTA since 2015, will transition to the role of CEO at Saint Anthony Hospital on Chicago's West Side. His departure comes amidst years of mounting pressure due to struggles with the transit service, including issues with reliability, safety, and ridership. Carter's tenure saw significant federal funding secured for projects like the Red Line Extension, but also faced criticism over service quality and leadership, particularly highlighted by investigations from Block Club Chicago. The CTA is now facing a $577 million budget shortfall. Mayor Brandon Johnson praised Carter's contributions, particularly his work on the Red Line Extension, as part of his historic career in public transportation.
