Sec. 2705-315.
Grants for passenger security.
The
Department may make
grants from the Transportation Fund and the General Revenue Fund to the
Regional Transportation Authority created under the Regional Transportation
Authority Act to be used to provide protection against crime for the
consumers of public transportation, and for the employees and facilities of
public transportation providers, in the metropolitan region. The
grants
may be used (1) to provide that protection directly, or (2) to
contract with any
municipality or county in the metropolitan region
to provide that protection, or (3) except for the Chicago Transit
Authority created under the Metropolitan Transit Authority Act, to contract
with a private security agency to provide that protection.
The grants shall be made upon the terms and
conditions that in the
judgment of the Secretary are necessary to ensure their proper and
effective utilization. The procedures provided in Section 2705-305 to govern
grants for mass transportation shall apply to grants made
under this Section.
