CTA Train Stops Getting Security Cameras

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Sep 9, 2009 9:45PM

The CTA's board approved a plan today that will bring security cameras to all 144 of its train stations; 45 stations already have cameras in place. The contract, with Teleste Corp. of Georgetown, Texas, will cost $4.3 million to put the new high-resolution equipment in place. First up will be the Green Line, which will have cameras in place by the end of the year. Officials hope to have all stations covered by the end of May 2010. [CBN]
