One regional transit system. NITA sets fares, standards, and schedules across CTA, Metra, and Pace. Formerly the RTA.

@chicago.suntimes.comReposted by @nitachicago.bsky.socialAs Chicago's new transit agency overseeing CTA, Metra and Pace finalizes its 2027 budget, the Sun-Times wants to hear how you want the agency to spend its nearly $1.5 billion in extra cash.
@nitachicago.bsky.socialOver 2,000 riders already weighed in on what transit improvements matter most to them. 🚇 Tell us what moves you: nita.illinois.gov/transit-fund...
@michelle345.bsky.socialReposted by @nitachicago.bsky.socialThis survey is pretty thorough, so pour yourself a beverage and get started! (ICYMI: NITA is the new agency that oversees CTA, Metra, and Pace)
@mollyfleck.bsky.socialReposted by @nitachicago.bsky.socialIf you ride transit in Chicagoland, you should take this survey.
@nitachicago.bsky.social📢 NITA is developing its first regional budget and wants to hear which transit improvements are most important to you! Your feedback will help shape future investments across CTA, Metra, and Pace.
Survey now available in English and Spanish: https://bit.ly/4AJCzRe
@nitachicago.bsky.socialInstead of mourning another Chicagoland summer come and gone, start creating your plans to make the most of fall. 🎃🍂 NITA has curated a list of indoor and outdoor activities you can reach by CTA, Metra, or Pace this season: https://bit.ly/4djC8Db
@nitachicago.bsky.socialGood eye, apologies. Recipients or reciptients, all are welcome to apply.
@nitachicago.bsky.socialGood catch! Our rebranding elves are working as quickly as we can and newly branded fare materials will be out in the world very soon. For riders with old RTA-issued permits, they will still work until they expire.
@govpritzker.illinois.govReposted by @nitachicago.bsky.socialA year ago, our state’s transit system faced a doomsday scenario of service cuts and fare hikes that would have left riders stranded. Now, we’re driving Illinois forward with the Northern Illinois Transit Authority providing better service and making fares more affordable.
@nitachicago.bsky.socialThis week NITA is the proud host of @humantransit.bsky.social’s Intensive Transit Network Design Course in which local Chicago planners, advocates, developers and more have come together to dive deep into transit planning and how to use it to create better cities and towns. 🧑🏫
@nitachicago.bsky.socialYou may be looking at the reduced fare program which is federally mandated for older adults and people with disabilities. Access has its own application and permit for SNAP recipients to receive reduced fare at fares.nita.illinois.gov. Video on how to apply: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iecy...
@nitachicago.bsky.social“By making Access available across CTA, Metra, and Pace, we’re making a successful pilot available to thousands more riders, providing a regional benefit and making transit more affordable for riders who need it most" -- NITA Board Chair Tom Kotarac. nita.illinois.gov/riders/access
@nitachicago.bsky.socialBeginning today, the NITA Access Pilot Program officially expands to the CTA and Pace, allowing eligible riders experiencing low incomes to apply for reduced transit fares across Metra, CTA, and Pace. 🚇🎉
Riders can apply at GetAccess.org now.
@cbschicago.bsky.socialReposted by @nitachicago.bsky.socialSeeking to reduce delays for CTA riders in downtown Chicago, officials plan to install a new dedicated bus lane on Michigan Avenue.
@chicago.suntimes.comReposted by @nitachicago.bsky.socialNearly 1,500 daily buses serve 22,000 weekday passengers along 21 different routes on the 1.5-mile stretch of Michigan Avenue between Wacker Drive and Roosevelt Road. It's one of the busiest bus corridors in the CTA system — which is why it was chosen for a new dedicated bus lane.
@mayorofchicago.bsky.socialReposted by @nitachicago.bsky.socialWe're committed to building a safer and more accessible transportation system. By creating a dedicated bus lane on Michigan Avenue, we are reducing delays, improving service, and ensuring that the thousands of Chicagoans who rely on public transit can get where they need to go.
