CTA will have extra personnel available on the system as needed to assist customers with rolling reroutes as the parade makes its way through the LoopCTA is advising customers to allow extra travel time. To speed travel, customers are encouraged to buy farecards in advance with sufficient value or to add enough value to their existing farecards (either the Chicago Card or magnetic strip farecard) for their return trips later in the day.
