Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

The Board shall make all rules and regulations governing

and change the same whenever it is deemed advisable by the Board,
subject to the provisions of any ordinance granting rights to the
Authority. Except as provided in Sections 2.04 and 4.11(b)(5) of the Regional Transportation
Authority Act, the Board shall fix rates, fares and charges for
transportation, provided that they shall be at all times sufficient in
the aggregate to provide revenues (a) for the payment of the interest on
and principal of all bonds, certificates and other obligations payable
from said revenues and to meet all other charges upon such revenues as
provided by any trust agreement executed by the Authority in connection
with the issuance of bonds or certificates under this Act, (b) for the
payment of all operating costs including all charges which may be
incurred pursuant to Sections 29 and 39 of this Act and all other costs
and charges incidental to the operation of the transportation system,
(c) for the payment of all costs and charges incurred pursuant to
Sections 37 and 38 of this Act and any other costs and charges for
acquisition, installation, construction or for replacement or
reconstruction of equipment, structures or rights of way not financed
through issuance of bonds or certificates under Section 12 of this Act,
and (d) for any compensation required to be paid to any municipality for
the use of streets, subways and other public ways. The Board may
provide free transportation within any municipality in and by which they
are employed for firemen and public health nurses, when in uniform, and
policemen when in uniform or, when not in uniform, upon presentation of
identification as policemen, and shall provide free transportation to
sworn law enforcement personnel of the Cook County Sheriff's Department
when in uniform or, when not in uniform, upon presentation of
identification as sworn law enforcement personnel of the Cook County
Sheriff's Department, and may provide free transportation for employees
of the Authority when in uniform or upon presentation of identification
as such employees, and may enter into agreements with the United States
Post Office Department for the transportation of mail, and the payment
of compensation to the Authority in lieu of fares for the transportation
of letter carriers, when in uniform at all times.
The Board may also provide free transportation, or transportation at
reduced fares, to all or designated classes of pupils in attendance at
public schools of school districts within or partly within the
territorial limits of the Authority, or in attendance at private schools
offering grades of instruction comparable to those offered in public
schools, under such conditions as shall be prescribed by the Board, and,
if otherwise authorized by law, the Board may contract with public
school boards and representatives of private schools, for reimbursement
of pupil transportation costs from public funds.
