flag Chicago’s CTA faces major service cuts in 2026 without state funding, risking a 40% reduction and thousands of jobs.

flag Chicago’s transit agencies face a reduced 2026 budget gap of less than $300 million, down from $771 million, due to stronger revenue and cost savings, avoiding cuts for Metra and Pace. flag However, the CTA still risks major service reductions in 2026 without state funding, including bus route cuts, an "L" line shutdown, and station closures. flag Without legislative action, deficits could exceed $500 million by 2027 and grow, threatening thousands of jobs and a quarter of CTA service. flag Advocates urge comprehensive reform, including governance changes and a unified regional authority, as the Illinois Senate passes House Bill 3438. flag The upcoming veto session is critical for securing long-term funding to prevent a 40% service reduction.
