Rahmbo to City Workers: Take the Train!

Rahmbo to City Workers: Take the Train!

Mayor Emanuel has made transit, biking, and sustainability some of the top priorities of his young administration. The same goes for fiscal restraint and transparency (something notably lacking in the administration of his predecessor). Drawing on his experience as White House Chief of Staff, his most recent edict combines these two sets of goals. Emanuel is mandating that city employees use public transit when on the job. According to NBC Chicago, employees who use other means of transportation to conduct city business will have to justify their expenses when submitting for reimbursements. The new rules are in response to the report compiled by city comptroller Amer Ahmad. “Across the board we found inconsistency in the policies and enforcement in our departments and sister agencies,” Ahmad said. “This new policy provides the necessary structure to ensure that city travel is efficient and above all an appropriate use of city resources.”
