The Ignite Group took two CTA Bus to Lincoln Square I enjoyed the ride there and back. The CTA bus drivers were very nice and welcoming to us when we got on the bus.

The disability awareness training at CTA was excellent! I really think it was helpful for myself and our players that the audience was very engaged in the training and participated in the role plays! I ride the CTA a lot, and I believe that given the audience was so enthusiastic about ways to improve accessibility, it's clear to me CTA takes great pride in providing great service for customers with disabilities. Overall, the training was a huge success!

I've taken the CTA Purple, Red, and Yellow Lines a few times, once to a presentation in the city, and the other times to Cubs games and to get to different areas of the city. I find the system to be an efficient and fast way to get to where you need to go. In my experiences, there have been little to no delays, and the trains came on time. Some of the stations could be improved a bit in terms of cleanliness, and some of them aren't wheelchair accessible, but hopefully that will change within the next few years.

Disability Awareness:   Flexible service

Station was accessible for individuals with wheelchairs, has an elevator and escalators. Employees were available to help if needed. Station was clean and centrally located with buses available as well.

It is a good way to get around. However, the stairs are very steep. The station could use renovations.

CTA workers are always in sight and ready to help people when you walk in. There's a lane for people with wheelchairs to get through and there's an elevator for those who can't use the stairs. There's also benches once you get to the top for people who need to sit and it's pretty spacious with working heaters in the winter months. I think what might be helpful for this place is bigger signs or signs more at eye level for people with sight impairments.

Not physically accessible for people who use wheel chairs, there are no elevators, but only stairs, so if someone wants to go to a football game that will be a huge hassle

Disability Awareness:   Inflexible service

A few days ago i had injured my arm from softball practice. I had a cast on my arm for a week , the bus driver was kind enough to greet me and talk to me about my how i had injured my arm and if i am ok. By the time i was getting off on my stop, he had kindly told me to have a great day and to be every careful and quoted "not to injured my other arm" that truly made me smile and laughed.

There is no way for handicapped to get up the stairs. No optional route to get to the train stop. No service or additional help to transfer somewhere else.

I have been in ,and out of this train sytion a lot since it open in the 90's ,and is a good palce to catch the el.It is right next to the davis metra,which makes it a good transfer to the metra (especially for cub fans,and other sport fans heading to downtown)..Its not far from my home.

The staff helped me by Fix my money if will not fit in transition machine.or they give me free pass to train.The environment was nice and roomy alot to move around.Some station is accessible on purple line.

I was able to to be independent because I carry enough money to get on or for emergency only.Is accessible to get around town or in the city.

I work in Evanston near the Main stop of the purple line. I was rushing out the station the other day (late to work, as usual!) and saw a woman in a wheelchair on the sidewalk, looking at a map with a CTA worker. I was tempted to slow down and eavesdrop, but I decided to curb my nosiness. What I did notice was a pair of pretty seriously confused looks on the women's faces.

I have seen this look before from people with limited mobility confronted with using the CTA, and it generally translates to "I need to go WHERE to get on the train?" Did you know 53 of 144 El stations have neither an elevator nor a ramp? So, about 38% of stations are completely inaccessible? This is a real shame. Even worse, the Main station is so inaccessible that someone in a wheelchair can't even make it to the attendant's booth, blocked by three steps leading up from street level. I found myself wondering how the woman I saw had gotten the attention of the worker. Totally unacceptable!

To their credit, 100% of CTA's bus fleet is accessible. I'd like to see them get the trains up to that standard. This, of course, will cost a huge sum. So, that's where we come in: use the train! It's important for citizens to use public services like transportation when they are provided; our use indicates to the city to continue to allocate money to such amenities.

Here's hoping for universal accessibility ASAP!

I've taken the CTA Purple Line to the Davis CTA Station by myself. I've taken the CTA train from the Linden CTA Station to the Davis CTA Station. When I've been to the Davis CTA Station by myself, it hasn't been too hard to wait for the train. Whenever you go through the gate to get on the CTA train, there are no employees. The employees let you do this stuff independently. It hasn't been too hard to find my way to the right train. When I arrived at the Davis CTA Station the first time, I just got off the train, walked through the exit gate and walked out of the Davis CTA Station. Whenever you wait for a train to come, you're inside a train shed. It's fun to take the CTA train by myself. If you don't know which way to go to either wait for the train to go south to Howard or north to Linden, there's a sign with an arrow that says South to Howard and North to Linden. When I went back to the Davis CTA Station to take the train back to the Linden CTA Station, I put my CTA card in the slot and walked through the gate. When my train arrived, I got on the train and took it back to the Linden CTA Station. When the train arrived back at Linden, I just got off the train and went home. The Davis CTA Station is a fun train station to wait at for the train because you're able to be in a shed where the train comes.

I've ridden my bike to the Linden CTA Station by myself to take the CTA Purple Line. The first time I was at the Linden CTA Station, I was trying to find a place to lock up my bike. When I saw a bike rack, that's where I locked up my bike. After I finished locking up my bike, I walked into the train station and put my money in the slot machine to get a CTA card. I got a CTA bus card when I put in the money and pressed the vend button. Even though I got a CTA bus card, it still worked when I went through the place where you put your card in the slot. After I walked through, I waited for a train. I asked the train engineer if this train goes to Davis and the engineer nodded. When the doors opened, I went inside the CTA train and found a place to sit. I was waiting for the train to leave. After the train left, I just sat inside the train until it got to my stop. I've taken the CTA train to Davis by myself. It hasn't been too hard to enter the Linden CTA Station by myself or to take the CTA train by myself. The Linden CTA Station is a fun train station to wait at when I take the CTA train by myself.
