The Northern Illinois Transit Authority released the first-ever unified transit budget for the entire Chicagoland region on Nov. 2. As part of the NITA Act transit funding and governance overhaul, what was previously known as the Regional Transportation Authority has been gradually assuming more powers and responsibilities. Under the arrangement that was in place between 1983 and mid-2026, CTA, Metra and Pace had a largely free hand to plan their own budgets, and while RTA had to approve them, the tight statutory deadlines gave it little time to make changes. The new arrangement is more akin to how cities develop their budgets, with transit agencies functioning like departments — they submit their budget proposals that NITA then takes and uses to develop a single budget document.
