A one-time exception is how Regional Transportation Authority leaders on Thursday characterized a plan to channel to the Chicago Transit Authority a portion of federal COVID-19 relief dollars that typically would go to Metra and Pace.
The move that upends traditional funding allocations for the transit agencies is necessary to ensure critical services are delivered amid the pandemic crisis until more federal aid comes, officials said.
Congress approved its second COVID-19 package in December. The RTA plan would give the CTA $361 million, or 77.5%, Metra $83 million, or 17.9%, and Pace $22 million, or 4.6%, of a $486 million pot. The remainder would go to paratransit.
