Editing Chicago Transit Authority (section)

==Equipment==
As mandated by the [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990]] for all transit operators in the U.S., all CTA buses are [[Accessibility|accessible]], with a ramp on every bus available for use upon request by anyone who has trouble with steps, even temporarily.  The majority of train stations CTA operates have elevators or ramps to provide access for customers with disabilities. All trains are accessible, either through fully level boarding or a ramp to bridge the 3-4in height gap.
