A little chilly weather didn’t stop #TeamCTA from showing up in force to participate in the Wellness Sponsored races this past weekend. Saturday, we hustled our way around the lovely Pilsen neighborhood for the Carerra de los Muertos 5k. Racers enjoyed the scenery and then took in the post race festival in style. Sunday was no different with hundreds of employees getting their exercise on while participating in all 4 race categories - 2-mile walk, 5k, 10k, and 15k. Pre-race meet and greets, and tasty hot chocolate aided in some amazing colleague comradery. Thank you to all who participated this past weekend! #ChicagoTransitAuthority #wellness #2024raceseason #carreradelosmuertos #hotchocolate #neighborhoodraces #teambonding #coworkercomradery #Engagement #HR #Transit Jessica G. , Travis Udeze , Patrice Ware , Leticia Nieto , Dyamond Scales, MBA, SHRM-CP , Donald Bonds

#TeamCTA celebrates Native American Heritage Month! Did you know that the name "Chicago" actually comes from the Potawatomi word “Checagou,” which is derived from “Zhegagoynak?” In Potawatomi, "zhegagosh" means "wild onion," and "nak" translates to "the place of". This shows that Chicago's roots are deeply tied to the Indigenous peoples who thrived in the region long before non-Native settlers arrived! Stay tuned to our LinkedIn throughout the month of November for more fun facts, resources, and ways to celebrate Native American Heritage Month! #ChicagoTransitAuthority #WeMoveChicago #IAmTransitTalent #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #Transit #HR
