BROWN LINE BUSINESS SUPPORT PROGRAM

Participation Form for Paulina Station

CTA is investing $530 million in the century old Brown Line to modernize and improve stations, expand capacity and make stations accessible to all customers.

The magnitude of work necessary to achieve such improvements is not possible without some inconveniences.  But short-term inconveniences will yield very long-term gains for residents and businesses in your communities. 

During the station construction portion of the project, some businesses near Brown Line stations may be inconvenienced due to a temporary station closure or sustained construction activity.  Because of this possibility, CTA is providing advertising and marketing support for the potential impact on nearby businesses.

Business owners must express their interest in being included in this effort by filling out this form and returning it to CTA.  The business support program applies to businesses that rely on commuter foot traffic as a primary source of business.

For more information, contact Kristy Shuler in CTA's Government & Community Relations Department at (312) 681-2712.
