Pension Committee and Board of Trustees

The RTA Pension Plan covers all RTA employees, as well as non-represented employees of Metra and Pace. The pension’s day-to-day activities are governed by two separate entities: the Pension Committee and the RTA Pension Board of Trustees. The Pension Committee is responsible for approving outgoing funds and for interpreting the Plan, while the Trustees are charged with investing Plan funds. The RTA Board approves appointment of membership of the Pension Plan Board of Trustees and the chair of the Pension Plan Administrative Committee

Agendas, minutes and other materials are available on the Meeting Materials page.
