Initially, the pilot program will feature disposable mask dispensers on 200 buses serving 20 bus routes serving all areas of the city.
Has the potential to reduce boarding times by as much as 50% and improve the overall customer experience.
Will also invest $310 million into the $2.3 billion Red Line extension project extending line by 5.3 miles, with four new stations.
The groundbreaking is the latest project to modernize the Red Line — CTA’s busiest line that serves more than 30% of all rail customers.
Will add 1,000 new cameras and upgrade more than 3,000 older-model cameras to the latest-generation high-definition models.
The Superlative Group was awarded the contract based on its successful track record in monetizing transit agency assets throughout the U.S.
In addition to accessibility upgrades, the project improved station and platform lighting, installed new security cameras, and provided new CTA Bus and Train Tracker displays.
Work is underway to upgrade old cameras to high-definition and add new cameras at four stations along the Blue Line.
The buses will include new passenger information screens to show real-time travel information and other service information.
Along with lighting improvements along the Green Line, the upgrade kicks off the first of several phases of the Safe & Secure program.
