CTA Violent Crime Nears Decade High
Violent crime on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has risen to its second-highest level in the past decade, with 2,893 crimes reported at CTA stations and platforms in the 12 months ending in July.
The arrest rate for these crimes has dropped, with fewer than 1-in-5 violent CTA crimes leading to an arrest, compared to a little over 1-in-4 for all transit crimes.
Federal funding for the CTA is in jeopardy due to the increase in violent crime, with authorities threatening to cut funding unless public safety improves.
- CTA crime is at its second-highest level since 2015.
- Arrest rate for violent crimes is less than 1-in-5.
- Federal funding is at risk due to safety concerns.
Illinois’ comeback story starts here.
A fare hike of 25 cents per ride is planned, and state lawmakers are considering a bailout of the system and other Chicago-area mass transit.
