The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) is the coordinating body for the transit system in the Chicago region. They bring together CTA, Metra, and Pace to create a seamless transit experience, while also adapting to the changing needs of riders through innovative pilots. The RTA plays a vital role in financing the public transit system, funding daily operations and major capital investments to improve the region's transit infrastructure. They provide planning support and funding opportunities to municipalities and transportation agencies, partnering with local governments to plan for transit-friendly policies, zoning, and development. The RTA also offers resources and education for riders, helping them plan trips on CTA, Metra, Pace, and ADA Paratransit, and providing information on fares, discounts, and accessibility options. With a focus on collaboration and strategic planning, the RTA aims to enhance the regional transit system and ensure its efficiency and accessibility for all.Generated from the website
