This period was marked by a significant period of economic recession that began in 2008 and ended in mid-2009. Economic recovery since then has been modest and as of 2012, employment and job growth had yet to return to pre- recession levels. The recession negatively impacted transit operations on the RTA system and forced the Service Boards (CTA, Metra, and Pace) to consider fare increases and service cuts. CTA, Pace Suburban Service, and Pace ADA Paratransit implemented fare increases in 2009. Metra implemented fare adjustments in 2010 and a significant fare increase in 2012 to bring fares in line with inflationary cost increases. In addition, CTA and Pace both cut service in 2010, with CTA reducing service frequencies, shortening service hours, and eliminating nine express bus routes, and Pace eliminating $1.5 million worth of service. These fare increases and service cuts, together with significant job loss in the region, combined to produce negative ridership results on the RTA system in 2009 and 2010. After two years of ridership loss, the regional economy began to improve in 2011, along with ridership, and these positive trends continued into 2012. A complete history of Service Board fare increases from 2000 to 2012 is included in the final chapter of this report.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 24, 2012 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 [email protected] MAYOR EMANUEL ANNOUNCES MORGAN STATION IS OPEN FOR GREEN AND PINK LINES CTA’s 146th Rail Station to Serve Growing West Loop Community CHICAGO – Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced today that the Morgan ‘L’ station is officially open, marking the first new Chicago Transit Authority station to open in Chicago in 18 years. “Having world-class infrastructure is essential to our city’s goals of quality of life and economic opportunity for residents,” said Mayor Emanuel. “This station will help Chicagoans get around the city, to work, to school, and to be with their families. It will also have a profound impact on the local area in terms of job creation.” Serving the Green and Pink Lines, the Morgan station sits in the burgeoning Near West/West Loop neighborhoods, which have seen substantial residential and commercial development over the past several years—complementing the area’s long-established light-industrial and food-supply and processing businesses. “This new CTA station at Morgan and Lake is the result of many years of hard work by the Chicago Transit Authority, the City of Chicago, and the residents and businesses of the West Loop,” said U.S. Senator Dick Durbin. “It is also the result of $8 million in federal funding through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, an important program that help cities like Chicago pay for transportation projects that improve air quality and mitigate congestion. But not only will this new station expand the CTA network and help reduce traffic and pollution, it will also make it easier than ever for people from across Chicago to access the art galleries, restaurants, and businesses of this growing and vibrant community.” “This station will benefit both the area’s longstanding businesses as well as its more recent residents, restaurants, nightclubs and shops,” said CTA President Forrest Claypool.
