Changes could be coming to the public transit system around the Chicagoland area as the CTA, Metra, and Pace face a significant budget shortfall.
The combined agencies are projected to face a $771 million budget deficit in 2026. This shortfall could impact the services and operations of public transportation throughout the region.
Officials are currently exploring possible solutions to address the funding gap and ensure continued, reliable transit options for commuters in the area. More updates will be provided as the situation develops.
