However, RTA Board representation should also account for where transit riders live, primarily Cook County. How about taking the City out of the appointment process and giving half the Board slots to Cook County appointees and the rest to the collar counties.<BR/><BR/>For all your City vs. Suburban fight junkies, the CTA recently has made an effort to avoid getting into a zero-sum game with Metra and Pace. Now is the time for suburban Cook County, which subsidizes both the City and the collar counties, to step up and seize the agenda. The CTA is willing to play, now is the time for the suburban interests to step up and be productive.<BR/><BR/>Don't get Ladd behind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
