Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) President Dorval R. Carter Jr. announced the CTA is adding more than 600 new high-definition security cameras to its rail system — upgrades that will modernize the camera system and make it entirely high-definition.
The new HD cameras, along with lighting improvements along the Green Line, kick off the first of several phases of the Safe & Secure program, a multi-faceted effort announced by Mayor Emanuel in 2018 to increase safety across the CTA system and provide a more secure, comfortable traveling experience.
