Do You Feel Safe on the CTA?

This Wednesday's Green Line derailment left some El riders' confidence shaken. Yet the truth is, people who travel by train are 40 times safer than people riding in cars, and those taking buses are 79 times safer, according to the National Safety Council.

That doesn't mean improvements can't be made to prevent future accidents and improve overall safety on the CTA.

Reconnecting Neighborhoods is interested in hearing from people living in and traveling to the three study areas - Near North, Mid-South and Near West - to find out what they'd like to see improved to make their rides, and their waits at local bus stops and train stations, even safer. Leave a comment, or give us a ring! We'd love to hear from you.
