CTA Seeking New Applications for ADA Advisory Committee (Chicago, IL) – In alignment with its ongoing commitment to bringing equity and inclusion to all aspects of its decision-making, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) announced today it will be seeking new applicants to join the agency’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Advisory Committee.
The committee of up to 12 members from across CTA’s service area, which includes Chicago and 35 suburbs, is an important part of CTA’s longstanding and industry-leading commitment to making its buses and trains accessible.
Applications for these unpaid committee positions are available on the website https://www.transitchicago.
The ADA Advisory Committee meets four times a year to discuss and provide informed input on a wide range of accessibility issues, from infrastructure maintenance and investments to long-range planning and guidance on current services, policies, and practices. The committee is also a vital asset in facilitating dialogue between the CTA and the disability community to explore ways to further improve the accessibility of transit services.
This committee, which was first established in 1993, includes regular CTA riders who reflect a broad cross-section of the region’s disability community, and who share a commitment to representing the interests of persons with a wide range of disabilities.
