CTA developed the Elevator Replacement Program to strategically maintain existing passenger elevators across the rail system as vertical accessibility is expanded via ASAP. The Elevator Replacement Program will rehabilitate or replace existing passenger elevators throughout the CTA rail system to reduce the backlog of elevator rehabilitation and replacement needs and bring them into a state of good repair.
Current funded phase I provides for the replacement of 16 elevators and phase II will provide for an additional 16. With this funding a total of 32 elevators are schedule for replacement.
