CTA Red Line Extension Secures $746M in First-Year Federal Funding
Jul 29, 2024, 05:22 PM
The CTA Red Line Extension project is set to receive a significant increase in federal funding for its first year, as announced on Saturday. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has committed $746 million, up from the initially expected $350 million, to support the project. This extension, which will expand the Red Line south from 95th Street, aims to enhance Chicago's transit system and provide much-needed relief to residents. The funding boost, advocated by Senator Dick Durbin, Senator Tammy Duckworth, and Representative Mike Quigley, will allow the CTA to secure contracts sooner, potentially saving hundreds of millions in project costs. This project is seen as a major step in building a more equitable transit system for Chicago.
