New CTA Boss gets down to work

Rather quickly for a the new head of a large transit agency - probably a good thing - Ron Huberman announced some measures to help bring the CTA out of its operating deficit, and interestingly, implement some performance standards and reporting in the workplace to help boost productivity. That latter item is no small feat at a public agency, which are generally (I don't know anything specifically about the CTA) not set up for those kinds of programs - there's often no structure for incentives or disincentives (read: bonuses or firing).

Maybe these kind of structural changes (if they really are so) will help the CTA with its yearly operating funding picture in the long term, and also with the getting its system rebuilt.
