I hope all Chicagoans will join us in this ‘call to action’ to show your appreciation.” “Once a year, on March 18th we ask our customers to share their appreciation to public transit employees, by saying “thank you” and using hash tag #TEAD tag to express your gratitude. “Thousands of CTA’s dedicated employees go to work every day to serve our great city – to keep us moving forward,” said CTA President Dorval R. Yet the CTA, Metra and Pace operators, engineers, mechanics, and other support personnel who play a critical role in keeping our systems moving each day have demonstrated their dedication, professionalism, and courage throughout the pandemic by continuing to provide safe, reliable transportation for the public. Like so many businesses throughout our country, the pandemic has impacted the region’s transit agencies like never before. ![]() Riders and residents are encouraged to simply say or wave “Thank you!” to area bus and rail operators, conductors, and other transit workers – from custodians to customer service assistants at stations. Chicago’s three regional transit agencies-the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Metra, and Pace Suburban Bus- invite riders and the general public to celebrate Transit Employee Appreciation Day (TEAD) on Saturday, March 18.
