Width W[\n inches) m length) all boxes are 21 ii Community RTA budget tightening ordered The Regional transportation Auth­ ority's Board of Directors last week advised the RTA's operating divi­ sions "to get out the sharp pencils and start cutting costs" as they pre­ pare their budgets for 1966. As required by law, the RTA Board set the "fairbox recovery ra­ tios" for the three service boards: Metra, the Commuter Rail Division, Pace, the Suburban Bus Division, and the Chicago transit Authority. The "farebox recovery ration" in­ dicates the amount of revenue which the service board must collect from the farebox. The balance of funding is provided through RTA-collected taxes paid by residents of the six- county RTA area. Although representatives of the service boards have indicated that fare increases may be necessary in 1966, RTA Chairman Samuel K. Skinner of Lake County said fare increases can be avoided if the ser­ vice boards cut their costs. The legislation that reformed the RTA in 1963, effective in 1984, re­ quires the RTA system to generate at least 50 percent of its needed revenue from the farebox. The re­ maining expenses are funded by the RTA through sales taxes imposed in the six-county region, through feder­ al and state aid The RTA is respon­ sible for determining the level of subsidy for the three operating divisions. This is the first year the new RTA Board harflet the subsidy levels and farebox reboVery ratios. Skinner .said the RTA conservative fiscal policy was responsible lor the high ratings of RTA credit by Standard and Poors and Moody's. The two prominent Investment rating agen­ cies, gave the RTA their highest possible ratings when the RTA en­ tered the short-term municipal secu­ rity market last month. The RTA faced a potential $35 niton deficit at the end of 1966, the ency will end the year with a $10 million surplus, still considered only modest by most RTA Board members.

Metra commuter rail staff briefed the Commuter Rail Service Board on a proposal to install public tele­ phones on commuter trains in the northeast Illinois region. The initial installation could be limited to 15 telephones on as many coaches in service on metra trains on the Rock Island and Milwaukee Districts. The project will be a joint effort between Metra and Railfone, Inc. of Oak Brook. Railfone is a wholly- owned subsidiary of Airfone, Inc., a joint venture of Groeken Communi­ cations and Western Union. A spokesman said the commuter agency "will have no financial in­ vestment in the project and will re­ ceive a predetermined percentage of the gross revenues " It is expected that the 15 phones can be installed and in service with­ in 150 days, the spokesman said. Railfone calls will be made by sliding any major credit card through a card reader on the wall- mounted phone unit. Once the card is validated, calls can then be dialed directly to any location in the United States, Including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico According to Railfone, the call quality will be excellent, free of dia- tortion and comparable to that pf any long-distance call.
