Suburban revolt deepens against Regional Transportation Authority
The CSSMTD board passed a resolution accusing the RTA of neglecting suburban commuters in favor of the CTA and urged riders to press governor and legislators over high fares and reduced service. A Council of Mayors accord seeks restricting reform, proposing regional oversight and division of control among city, suburban, and state authorities for a six county metro system.
