REBUILDING THE CTA FORREST CLAYPOOL, PRESIDENT CHRIS BUSHELL, SVP, INFRASTRUCTURE
Our Commitment: Increasing Investment Despite Lean Times Even while facing a $277M deficit, we are finding ways to rebuild and rehabilitate our rail system
A Comparison of Two Years FY 2011 Transfer from Capital $113 million FY 2012 Transfer from Capital $0
Strategic Decisions in the Budget Our operating budget is tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of positions smaller than a year ago Yet, we found money to hire for 23 trackmen for Power & Way and 6 escalator and elevator servicers for Facilities We are finally beginning to reverse five years of cuts to our critical rail maintenance functions
Renew Crews Last summer, we immediately found savings in materials and personnel and decided to devote $25M to rehabbing 100 rail stations This blend of customer amenities and fundamental repairs will provide lasting benefit to system and knock out backlog of deferred maintenance Before After
Historic Investment in the Red Line $1 Billion
