The Chicago Transit Authority board approved an omnibus package that included an ordinance authorizing a one‑year pilot agreement with STV Incorporated under CTA’s Innovation Studio program and nine contract awards across operations, infrastructure, finance, technology and law. The Finance, Audit and Budget Committee placed the ordinance and nine contracts on the committee omnibus; the committee and then the full board approved the omnibus by roll call.
Key items in the omnibus

- Contracts: Nine contract awards (listed in the committee presentation as A1–A3, B1–B3, C1, G1, I1) covering transit operations, infrastructure, finance, technology and law. The committee reported no substantive questions on those contract awards; the committee placed the nine contracts on the omnibus and recommended board approval. The board approved the omnibus by roll call vote.
