Listen "Show Me The Money! The Future Of Chicago Area Transit Funding"
Episode Synopsis
Illinois state lawmakers missed the deadline to close the $770 million budget gap for the CTA before the end of the fiscal year. If the budget gap is not filled, Chicago area-wide transit could face cuts, possibly eliminating 4 train lines and more than 65 buses.
Reset hears more about the public transit fiscal cliff and how it will affect the CTA with Illinois Sen. Ram Villivalam of the 8th District, RTA director of government affairs Rob Nash and Better Streets Chicago executive director Kyle Lucas.
