NITA Chicago

One regional transit system. NITA sets fares, standards, and schedules across CTA, Metra, and Pace. 🚇

Formerly the RTA.

[NITA Chicago @NITA_Chicago]

A new era for Chicagoland transit. 🚇✨

Beginning today, NITA is officially your regional transit agency, coordinating affordable, reliable, safe transit across the CTA, Metra, and Pace. https://t.co/EssobogUgd

"I leave the transit system in the strongest position it has ever been in and proud of a career spent connecting people to opportunity. I'm grateful beyond words, and I can't wait to see what NITA accomplishes next.” – Leanne Redden

[NITA Chicago @NITA_Chicago]

After more than 20 years at the agency, including 12 as Executive Director, Leanne Redden is retiring as RTA transitions to NITA. https://t.co/6BLZM4OADp

During her time leading the RTA, Leanne secured historic transit funding and helped lay the groundwork for the NITA Act.

@GovPritzker A great way to celebrate NITA Day!

The Northern Illinois Transit Authority was created to bring greater coordination and accountability to the CTA, Metra, and Pace. https://t.co/ieWA1FAeNG

Happy NITA day to those who celebrate.

[Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch @SpeakerWelchIL]

The work we do has real purpose. Anyone NITA ride?😊

[Jarrett Walker @humantransit]

Illinois is one of the few US states that has faced the transit funding crisis and found the courage to address it. The new Chicago-area regional agency will ensure that transit investments are optimized for the whole region. A great day.

A new era begins for our regional transit system as @NITA_Chicago officially begins operations! We look forward to partnering with this new agency empowered to better fund and coordinate the services offered by @cta, @Metra, and @PaceSuburbanBus. https://t.co/MrGjKtvMIh

Today marks the official launch of the the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (@NITA_Chicago), serving communities throughout the Chicago region.

[Alderman Bill Conway @AldConway]

Excited for the next chapter of regional transportation with @NITA_Chicago!

Like tens of thousands of students today, the CTA was my school bus, and I know firsthand how important reliable public transit is to connecting Chicagoans to school, work, and opportunity.

[Rep. Ann Williams @RepAnnWilliams]

As Chicagoland transit faced a fiscal cliff last year, my constituents were clear: we need significant and long-term structural changes to our public transit, not a one-time fix.

Today, with the launch of NITA, we are one meaningful step closer to establishing the safe, reliable and connected regional transit system that we need and deserve.

[NITA Chicago @NITA_Chicago]

New agency, who dis? 💁‍♀️ https://t.co/ut8UzilNHy

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Last year, our state’s transit faced a doomsday scenario: service cuts and fare hikes that would have left riders stranded.

Today, we’re launching the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA) to deliver a reliable, safe, and unified public transportation system for the region.

[ToffeeFever @ToffeeFever]

After 52 years, a new era begins for public transit across Chicagoland.

Today, the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) officially becomes the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA).

[NITA Chicago @NITA_Chicago]

For riders, the transition to NITA will not bring a change in who operates your bus or train, and all Ride Free and Reduced Fare programs will continue under NITA.
