CTA Plans Improvements for 90% of Its Stations in 2021
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is rolling out an expanded and accelerated program to improve rail stations, called Refresh & Renew. Part of CTA’s campaign to welcome back customers and attract new riders, Refresh & Renew will bring improvements to nearly 90% of CTA’s rail stations.
“Throughout the pandemic, our number one goal has been to provide our customers and employees a safe, clean and healthy travel environment,” said CTA President Dorval R. Carter, Jr. “Refresh & Renew is our way of rolling out the welcome mat for our returning riders.”
Under the program, CTA will accelerate its existing rail station revitalization program, with more than 125 stations scheduled to receive improvements in 2021. Work performed will vary by location, but at a minimum, each of the identified stations will receive a deep clean power wash and repainting of surfaces. Nearly a third will receive more extensive work in 2021.
