The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) Board of Directors today approved a “Whistle Blower” hotline to encourage RTA employees to report any alleged improprieties or illegal acts related to the RTA, Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Metra and Pace without fear of retaliation.
“The RTA has an unwavering commitment to the lawful and ethical conduct of our operation and employees,” said Steve Schlickman, RTA Executive Director. “The implementation of this hotline is another measure by the RTA to show our transparency and commitment to legal and ethical practices that our stakeholders expect.”
The internal hotline allows employees to report wrongdoing, fraud, corruption and waste confidentially and without retaliation. Employees are encouraged to report on the misuse, or theft of RTA property or funds, bribery, employee misconduct such as misuse of official position, or any other unethical or illegal activities involving the RTA and its service boards. The Audit and Review Division will work with the RTA Board’s Audit Committee to ensure all matters have been fully resolved.
