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.

The CTA is planning ahead to work around the funding cuts, but there are concerns that Chicago’s public transit will drastically change. The RTA and advocacy groups are working toward finding out what the date is for these changes.

Reset hears more about the public transit fiscal cliff and how it will affect the CTA.
