The CTA 'L' is the 2nd-busiest rapid transit system in the US!

Chicago's 'L' runs 224 miles of track across 145 stations — second only to NYC's subway. That vast network, spanning dozens of neighborhoods, makes consistent safety enforcement a massive logistical challenge for any single agency.

Transit workers' union has fought for safety since 1892!

The Amalgamated Transit Union, founded in 1892, is one of North America's oldest labor unions, representing 200,000+ transit workers across the U.S. & Canada. Learn more at Wikipedia

The CTA receives over $1.5B in federal aid annually.

Chicago's transit system is one of the largest recipients of Federal Transit Administration funding in the U.S. Yet advocates say safety infrastructure for frontline workers remains chronically underfunded despite the system's massive federal lifeline.

  • Armed security on all CTA routes 0%
  • Stricter bail for transit crimes 0%
  • Panic buttons & real-time cameras 0%
  • Higher pay to offset the danger 0%
