Project Description:
Five-hundred-thousand riders a day depend on the Chicago L, yet years of deferred maintenance now require billions in repairs.
Faced with such a large, yet required, investment, CTA asked, "If you could build any rapid transit system in the world, what would it be?"
Deloitte and Civic Consulting Alliance identified the requirements, characteristics, and costs of "the rail of the future." This research has enabled numerous elements of the ideal system to be reflected in the ongoing capital plan.
