Embattled Chicago Transit Authority President Dorval Carter laid out a bold vision for the future of the transit agency in a plan that will depend on funding from state legislators.
“We are really at a crossroads about what the future of public transportation is going to look like,” Carter said. “The real question is, is the state legislature prepared to make the decisions they need to make to make that decision a reality?” “You have to keep in mind that CTA doesn’t create crime on the system; doesn’t create the things we are talking about,” Carter said. “They come out of the communities that we serve.”
Carter said any decisions about his future will be made by Mayor Brandon Johnson and other officials and not by him.
