FTA: Support the
31st Street Bus Route!
CTA needed to send a letter to FTA – the Federal Transit Administration – asking to protect federal funds for the 31st Street Bus Route.
FTA and Congressmen can give the CTA a 1-year extension to work on finding the matching funds for the route.
Tell FTA and your Congressman you want to ride the 31st Street Bus.
