NITA proposes a $5.02 billion transit budget for CTA, Metra and Pace and wants your comments

The Red Line Extension tops NITA's five-year capital spending

Source: Chicago Sun-Times

View as table
Value
Red Line Extension$3,290 million
Metra battery-powered trains$483 million
New CTA buses$404 million

If you ride CTA, Metra or Pace, wants your input. The Northern Illinois Transit Authority's proposed 2027 operating budget is $5.02 billion, up from $4.3 billion. It's one budget covering NITA and the three agencies, something Chicago-area transit has never had.

NITA also added around $900 million in new funding to its $9.7 billion five-year capital plan, and the Red Line Extension gets the most. NITA's own operating budget would be $401 million, up from the former RTA's $48.8 million in 2026.

  • Fares: no increases in the 2027 budget
  • CTA: all-night service on six bus routes
  • Pace: Sunday service on Aurora routes 524, 530 and 533
  • Metra: more frequent trains on the Rock Island Line
  • Buses: over 200 electric or hybrid for CTA and Pace

Public comment on NITA's budget closes Dec. 4, ahead of a Dec. 10 vote

Glenbard South boys soccer beats Fenton 3-⁠1 and advances to state for the first time

Glenbard South's boys soccer team is going to state for the first time. The Raiders beat Fenton 3-1 Monday in the Class 2A Hinsdale South supersectional, barely two weeks after head coach Willie Fajkus died of heart complications.

“This is all in memory of coach William Fajkus, who deserved this.”

Raiders coach Mike Filipiak

The Raiders led 2-1 at the break and got a third goal early in the second half, when a Fenton player's pass toward his own goal went untouched into the net. Glenbard South plays Peoria Notre Dame in Friday's state semifinal at Rockford Guilford.

The Wrap

Jayke Collins came back from a broken collarbone with a bang. In his first game back, the Naperville North standout spun past a defender and raced 70 yards for a score against Fremd in the first round of the playoffs. The Huskies won, their first playoff win since 2010. Not a bad comeback tour.
