Region Could Get Up To $675 Million For Transit From Obama Administration

The Regional Transportation Authority is hoping to get as much as $675 million from the Obama Administration early next year for a variety of capital projects.

That additional money, if approved and distributed, would more than double the $480 million the RTA is slated to approve for public transit projects in the region next year. The money would come as part of a massive federal economic stimulus bill, which is in the earliest stages of discussion.

The RTA is the parent agency of the Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace.
