The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is an independent governmental agency created by state legislation. The CTA began operating on October 1, 1947, after it acquired the properties of the Chicago Rapid Transit Company and the Chicago Surface Lines. On October 1, 1952, CTA became the sole operator of Chicago transit when it purchased the Chicago Motor Coach system.
As a public transit agency, the Chicago Transit Authority is providing assistance toward reducing the region’s energy use as well as reducing emission levels. CTA provides the general public with transportation options that help reduce the region’s dependency on fuel. Public transportation takes automobiles off the road by allowing residents to leave their cars at home. One full eight-car CTA train is the equivalent of 1,000 vehicles off the roads, which helps reduce fuel consumption and results in cleaner air for everyone in the region.
