In the letter, the lawmakers asked CTA President Dorval Carter to enact a provision required by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or IIJA, to improve safety for both passengers and transit workers.
"While we appreciate the efforts that both the CTA and Chicago Police Department recently have made to increase passenger and employee safety on trains and buses throughout the CTA's network, more needs to be done to protect CTA's frontline workers and passengers given the alarming increase in crime on the CTA system," the lawmakers wrote.
The IIJA requires transit agencies to set up new safety committees composed of an equal number of frontline employee representatives and management representatives. The team is to identify safety issues and develop strategies to enact them, use a portion of federal funds for safety-related projects, and report all assaults on transit workers to the National Transit Database.
Durbin met last month with leadership of the Amalgamated Transit Union, which represents transit workers, to discuss new safety measures include in the IIJA.
