Step outside calmly, watch your step, keep your head up, and report suspicious behavior or an emergency using the CTA’s official phone or text line.

From home to your final destination, the CTA public transit system can get you where you need to be, but proper planning and proper timing are essential. Every step from the prep stage to leaving the train car makes all the difference. Having a smooth journey isn’t just about getting where you’re going. It’s also about being smart and safe while doing it.
