Chicago City Council members call for ouster of CTA President Dorval Carter
CHICAGO -- Could change be coming to the leadership of the Chicago Transit Authority ? Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago city leaders seem to think there should be. Now, members of the Chicago City Council have drafted a resolution to remove CTA President Dorval Carter Jr. from his post. Thousands online are likewise saying the CTA's service and safety has been faltering. However, the CTA is pushing back on the allegations made by those behind this latest move.
At the meeting in February, Carter said of the CTA's challenges: 'I didn't have any roadmap to tell me what to do during this. I tried to make the best decisions that I could.' Vasquez said this argument does not hold up. 'The fact that other comparable cities are all bouncing back and doing better, and Chicago is not,' he said. 'So we want to talk about being a world-class city, it requires world-class transit - and we don't have that, because of the leadership.
