Take the Bus
City employees will be required to take public transportation to meetings and assignments during the work day or explain why not, under a strict new mileage and travel reimbursement policy tailor-made to save $1 million.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel ordered City Comptroller Amer Ahmad to craft the crackdown after a string of abuses made possible by the city’s liberal reimbursement policy.
The loosey-goosey rules allowed city employees to be reimbursed for car washes, transportation to jury duty, parking tickets, excessive parking costs and even late fees on personal credit cards.
The new guidelines—and the savings generated by them—will be built into the mayor’s 2012 budget.
For the first time, city employees who need to go somewhere during the work day will be required to use public transportation. If that’s not possible—either because of timing, location or security—they will be required to explain those reasons on reimbursement forms.
Actually, why even have take-home cars? Park the car at the District and use your personal car to get to and from work - it would cut down on the abuse of using the car to transport kids or groceries around the neighborhood.

nah, I dont have a take home and am not in a unit but there has always been jealousy about take homes..its not about people worried about abuse its about jealousy... I know, i get jealous about it sometimes but the truth hurts.. no one on this job really gives a sh*t about abuse..
Rahm has already set an example for all city workers.
When he lived in D.C. he regularly used 'Public Transportation', that wasn't so bad, and his boss lived in public housing, ate government food, and took public transportation everywhere.
So what's your complaint?
This would be hilarious if they apply it to exempts headed to CompStat meetings.
*****************
How many exempts don't realize they have a 5 pointed bus pass in their pocket? No reimbursement for you. Plus, half of them could never find their way across the street to the bus stop.
Getting to and from 26th and California should be fun to watch.
Or cut down on a certain commander taking his car for his nightly premise check at chili bar on archer.
If I was one of the City employees who had to be at 'meetings', I'd surely be taking public transportation. I would never be on time for any meetings, I would waste half my workday trying to GET to - and from - the meetings and I would not be responsible for all the information I missed at the meetings I was too late to attend.
Sounds like a win for me. If anyone dared challenge me, I'd say it was due to the Mayor's orders. Out of my hands, not within my control.
I want to see Emanuel take public transportation to ALL the functions his job requires he attend. The ribbon-cuttings at homeless shelters in questionable neighborhoods, the visits to firehouses around the city, the McPier meetings, the speeches at conventions, the trips to announce longer school days at one end of the city and then the dedication of a newly renovated CTA station at the other end of the city. Piece of cake, guy. Go for it.
So, let's watch what's left of your downsized city bureaucracy crumble and self-implode because you CRAVE yet another moment in front of the cameras, yet another MINUTE of waving your arms, jumping up and down, screaming 'look at me, look at me'. Change solely for the sake of change is NOT what this city needs.
Once again, a knee-jerk overreaction. If a few people abused the system, punish THEM. Not everyone. Just the ones who actually did something WRONG. It might take a little more effort than making a blanket edict, but what the hell. Can't wait to see how this works out for you when there's ten inches of snow out there and buses are running forty five minutes apart.
why do the commanders etc need a take home car If the do respond to an incident from home, they get there when its over
Let them leave the cars in the district of residence.
This is one proposal that is mentioned on Rahm's website.

Have you ever tried to take advantage of the perk of riding free on the CTA? When I had court downtown,I'd park at a nearby CPD or CTA lot and jump on the bus or El to get down there. Flash the button, and get looked at like you are a piece of shit by the CTA people.
All the while,the irish scum daley family has personal CPD valets at their beck and call.WTF?
does that mean the iad agent now has to take his civilian girlfriend to breakfast on the bus daily?
How about putting the beat officers on foot in their own beats? That's how it done in New York. Police can't get the feel of their beat while driving around with the windows up.
Madness, I tell you, madness! That would require me to buy a second personal auto. Pay for the car, gas, licenses, gas, insurance, car washes, etc.
Because I am who I am, I am entitled to free top of the line sedan.
Besides, my personal car, a 95 Olds 98 would start building up the miles. It's only got 12,000 original miles, and is a collector's dream.
I have seen exempts with paneling tired across the top of the take home car and the trunk filled with bags of mulch, 2x4 hanging out of the window. The intelligence division, a few years ago, even let some wives use covert cars. At one time ( can't speak to current condition), many civilians at HQ had take home cars, to include the civilian secretaries of Dep. Supt. Nothing new here. Most exempts do not need a take home car.
I agree why do exempts need take home cars at all? If an emergency comes up that requires their presence they can call a beat car and 1 would be dispatched immediately! The bonus the bosses then could enjoy the high mileage,barely functioning,and the smell of the cars would let them know how good working street coppers have it! Oh the humanity!
If everyone took the bus, instead of driving on a suspended or revoked DL, the CTA would make money.
If you think there is a MRSA problem at 35th Street now, wait until the El riding employees start bringing in Hepatitis, the plague, and all the other diseases found on those clean CTA trains.
So Firemarshall Bob shits his pants and now everybody has to wear a diaper! Fucking brilliant.
Do as I say and NOT as I do! I will use anything to my advantage and my gain. You as my subornate will bow down and pay, yes pay dearly your homage, pensions and your first born.
Rahm
P.S. That 8 million I made for the schill job at that investment frim was NOT enough!
i work days in public transportaion and i refuse to ride a bus or train even when working in uniform and armed. it's down right scary!
maybe Dick Daley can show us how it's done?
How about TAKE YOUR OWN CAR?!? These exempts make a small fortune and for what? They don't have any real responsibility for anything-- with a multitude of supervisors and blue shirts around them to take the fall for any bad decision or indecision, they are totally immune from scrutiny. They have a title and a very generous paycheck so how about using some of that pay to go out by a car like EVERYONE ELSE in the world to cart their overpaid asses to and from work. This is just another area where government wastes money and goes in the same category as those stupid flower boxes- we somehow have money for crap like that but never enough to fund the pensions or pave these pothole ridden streets, or replace the bulb in a streetlight for that matter! I cannot wait to move out of this dump of a state illinois!

A waste of time, the budget is done "the New Boss" presents it Wed.
Yes especially on those furlough days. No take home cars for exempts or the annoited ones still in units.
City employees can work from the CTA to and from meetings or other events using iPads or laptops. Their travel time will become productive.
If 9.5 wants to clean up, clean everything up. 1) The Cab service for the former theif and his wife(Lord Skortshanks). 2)The wonderful perk many of us low level city workers never have the pleasure of using, the take home company car, and yes part of it is jealousy, but also I see what a waste it is. Drive around any decent area, and it is a joke the number of marked and unmarked cars you see, I can't believe I have so many fucking important people working around me, reminds me of the saying "why does the dog lick his balls, because he can.
Take homes are one thing, using an "M" plate for personal use is another. Exempts may have the perk but let the IG/IA look into auditing the GPS and have the operator explain their locations. Why would there be authorized take home car for anyone but an Exempt?
I have to get to work most days on time using my own car/gas. How about you?

Disagree with this one. If a commander lives way north, the district or unit is way south, then the required response location is central or north, it's a waste of time and effort to drive in circles to get to the location. Commanders respond to shootings in their districts, shootings involving their people (wherever it happens), hospitals, major incidents... They start their day at some meeting nowhere near their unit, they end their day at some goofy CeaseFire event.
I think some of the take home cars are unnecessary, but I don't think all of them are. (And, no, I don't have a pony in this race. I retired out of a district this year, no take home car for me.)
Damn it! The Marathon was today! I've been training my ass off for almost a week now and wouldn't you know it, I missed the damn thing. I've really been hitting it hard since Oct 3, I really wanted to give those Kenyans and Nigerians and Somalis a run for their money.
I wanted to show them what a 59 year old Polish cop can do. Oh well, maybe next year. The streets are clear finally so I can go get some cold beer and frozen pizza. Time for a snack and a nap.
Soon we'll be riding bikes in green uniforms with a red star on the cap.
This is who you voted for, or who you allowed to take power because you were too busy to vote.
Good question - why do Commanders get take home cars. Fuck. Why do some Lieutenants get cars? Lt. GL of Forensics can barely get to work and she's given a take home car. She's also taken for herself an ET to be her personal secretary. At at time when all watches are short - yes, she gets a personal secretary.
This whole dept is a fucking joke.
i've seen exempts in the Mcdonalds's drive through with their kids in the co vehicle, dropping off their kids to school in the co vehicle, dropping off their dry cleaning in the co vehicle......
does rahmbo take public trans to work like NY mayor Bloomberg????
Why does our command staff have take home cars ? $160,000 a year , let them drive to work . When a major incident occurs in their district , they are usually there in an hour or so , no need for a cpd vehicle with emergency equipment . I can't imagine many resigning if take home car is taken away .
This prick is taking negotiating in the media to a whole new level. Now he's got Claypool muddying up the perception of CTA employees and their contractual rules being unreasonable.
Get ready for his assault on us as contract negotiation time comes closer.
This evil, thieving prick is sitting on an $18 million nest egg he got from an extreme sweetheart deal dropped in his lap yet he wants to nickel and dime the working stiff to death. Hypocritical bastard.
Rahm should demand exempts take the bus to work and home , that's 2 bus checks a day . We could cut public transportation unit in half . Exempts would be spending more time on the bus than most officers assigned to public transportation unit.
I work second watch. Sorry Boss, I have 26th and Cal today. Gotta take the bus. Glad Rahm has 1000 more on the street, because now it will only be 999 for today.
Funny
I'm still waiting for the $2.00 I spent on gas in 1972!

Mayor Rahm worries about other people and their take home cars and usage!
Yet, his kids are chauffered in a big, gas guzzling [14 MPG], black City Owned SUV, with a Police Officer driver, making Sgt's pay being driven every school day from the Ravenswood neighborhod on the Northside to Hyde Park on the South side!
Travel time at least one hour each way not including traffic and bad weather! Gas! Police Officer Drivers at Sgt's pay! Another Police Officer making Commanders Pay!
Hey Rahm, the neighborhood schools not good enugh for the chosen ones?!
What a hypocrit this guy is!
Don't do as I do! Do as I say, Napoleonic mentality!
What a Tool!
Where is the Newsmedia to report his abuses and "Enron style" accounting of Police manpower?!
CRICKETS!!!
Jose Rumpeculo
Let's hope Tiny Dancer 9.5 does the same, with his security detail and CTA transit cards in tow..boy, would I love to see that!
"security?" like going to the Southside? Westside?
Little Village? Boy, Rahm just gets sillier and sillier...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
LOL....Take the Bus.
I agree with the poster that said half the exempts wouldn't know how to cross a street to the bus stop without a driver holding their hand.
More than half of these exempts would wind up getting their pockets picked riding public transportation. You don't notice things like that as they're happening when you've never been the police.
Had a Streets and San (Deputy???) unmarked with lights in back window .parked illegally at beach with Handicapped Placard in window. Actually looked like a squad car. He showed up in his "wife beater shirt" and asked if there was a problem. It was a Sunday and I asked who was handicapped and he said his wife and that they were at a picnic. Yeah, he needs a car.
I say get rid of squad cars. We can just commandeer buses or citizen's vehicles to respond to jobs. Either that, or make cabs give us free rides. Or we could each get a red flyer and we could take turns pulling each other in it.

10/09/2011 12:12:00 AM
I wonder how much it is costing us to fly our new out-of-state bosses and their families back and forth. The Supt. and his family members must fly frequently back and forth to NY, the new CPS head and his family members fly back and forth. That's a lot of "public transportation" on top of the very nice salaries. Good for them.
What's interesting is that CPD does not fall under any of these issues. CPD does not get mileage and all those other reimbursements. I don't have a problem with Commanders having cars, hell most are shit on royally in many other ways but I find it insulting that the Mayor's office wants to continually put out stories of abuse and excess with "City Workers." Most of the time it is not the police department. Such as the indebtedness to the City to the tune of 3 million. Not CPD. When we are wrong, I accept that but when we are in the right we should be applauded. The CPD does a great job of ensuring its members are not indebted to the City. They always have since I have been on. We should get some credit for that.
Seems all the news ever is about how fucked up City workers are. Too bad the Mayor doesn't appreciate the hard work we give every day instead of lumping us with other departments who have a history of mismanagement, graft and outrageous OT and now indebtedness.
all of the take home cars should be parked in a district lot.....and, can you see the exempts riding the bus to 35th Street for meetings?....hah!
This little 9 & 1/2 is an em effer!We thought shortshanks was a dictator, he was nothing compared to this little egotistical hypocrite! Its only gouing to get worse kids, buckle up!
Speaking of the use of personal credit cards I have a question.
Who is getting the cash back and cash reward bonuses and other rewards that many of these credit cards offer when a city employee uses their personal credit card for a work related purchase?
If the employee gets to keep the rewards then that's unreported compensation that gets around the tax system.
http://www.comparecards.com/category/reward?k=Google_TC1600&gclid=CIzQ2Yjb3KsCFc_AKgodDGQMSA
Stop the use of personal credit cards for city business. You have no way to track the bonus point rewards systems, the cash back and other rebates that rightfully belong to the city and the taxpayers.
Take down that no trespassing sign Rahmmy. No more personal credit card use at all. Not for the mayor. Not for the aldermen. Not for ANY city employee. It opens the door to all kinds of financial shenanigans at the taxpayers expense.
You mean take the short bus.
Did you see the shit he's pulling with the CTA?
He's having his buddy Forrest Claypool sully up the CTA worker as greedy and unreasonable in the media.
One of the things at issue is the fact that CTA employees get paid bathroom breaks. Imagine the gall of those workers! What the fuck do they want? Everyone has to clock out when they have to take a leak or a dump?
This Rahm is a very unreasonable, treacherous bastard.
I predict around contract time next year he'll have the full court press on against us using the media. He loves to provide inaccurate information to turn the public against the unionized city worker.
Why are any city employees doing any travel to only make a physical presence in a meeting in this day and age with all the communication tools that we have at our disposal?
Video conferencing, conference calling, text messaging can all be done virtually for free over the net.
Let's not just look at the travel expenses in the form of gasoline and parking fees shall we. Let's look at the travel times and the idled man-hours lost in transit!!
The superintendent is bent on achieving greater efficiencies and yet we are going to waste man-hours in traffic riding the bus or even driving back and forth cross town just for the convenience of being able to look someone in the eyes at a meeting!
That's ludicrous if you don't have the money nor the resources to waste. We can't afford that luxury any more and it is a luxury.
Hell, if you need to actual see the look on someones face when you're dictating orders just have them go out and stand in front of a pod cam in their district and then call them on a cell phone to break the news -- that's all.
I would of suggested that you just whip out your cell phone camera and put up a live streaming video however I don't think that the politicians, supervisors and leaders of this city would know how to do that. Only the stupid moronic tech-savvy Occupy Wall Street crowd that they mock knows how to do that.
Same goes if you need to make an appearance in court.
The man-hours of lost productivity due to travel will only be made worse by paying someone a $40/hour salary to be waiting for a bus.
Skype it baby! Stop the madness.
Does this mean the end of visiting horse stables in Hundtley with a company car?
As long as I am on the company clock I will be thrilled to ride the CTA. I don't know the routes too well so it might take a while.
Da rules is only for da Indians, chiefs will just carry on as before !
Oy Vey ! Such a situation !!!
How many current exempts never passed a sgt or lt Test ?
A. 40 %
B. 60 %
C. 75 %
D. 90 %
what about the aldermen that pay for their city stickers out of their office expenses?
...... Flash the button, and get looked at like you are a piece of shit by the CTA people....
Had that happen just last week...but hey, who cares? I (a taxpayer no less) gots me a free ride on the 'L' and no one on the train knew I was the PO-PO. The guy that looks at you like a piece of shit is just upset he had to get up and push the button for you at the handicapped entrance.

I say give cars to cops that have jobs that take them away from home on call outs, and who have jobs that need them to go out during the night.

Perhaps "rob" Emanuel should get rid of his limo and escort service of however many police and save the city a lot of money.
Bet his transport costs from 4200 North Ravenswood in the gas guzzler limo is more than a $2.25 bus ride.

Unless the dry cleaner is in another town, it's probably on the way to or from work. Don't really care about that.
But kids in the car. Violation of general orders, to start. Stupid, too.
Former Cmdr RB used to haul her (then) small daughter around in the company car, once even bringing her to an investigatos' meeting. When someone questioned the child-seat in her CPD vehicle, she responded it wasn't there for personal use, but because she ran the Youth Division. Right.
How about putting the beat officers on foot in their own beats? That's how it done in New York. Police can't get the feel of their beat while driving around with the windows up.

Thanks, Garry, but this isn't New York, much as you wish it was.
Many of our beats are so spread out, it would be a good trick to even walk the length of it during a tour, much less respond to calls at the other end of it.
But, nice try, McClueless.

its called a perk for being in a unit. Ive never been in a unit or left patrol but even I realize that if you go to a unit there should be perks. Coppers are some of the most bitter and jealous people I know. Its not about abusing cars or dropping kids off at school with the company car... Its about crying because someone else has something that I dont have. I dont get a take home car so Im gonna whine about it. Im gonna cry because a guy used his take home car to pick his kids up from school(god forbid)... and whats your argument... If I have to pick my kids up from school with my own car then they should.. which proves the point of jealousy. Good lord, cant coppers not cry about something for at least one day. Sitting at roll call it use to be laughs and good times, now its poor me poor me, I get screwed. Give me a fu*king break! We talk about unit cohesion but coppers are the first ones to steam roll another copper. Hes got a car and I dont so im gonna cry. He got out early im gonna cry, he got taken care of by the watch commander im gonna pout, he got put on the incident car on the watch im gonna talk behind his back and be bitter about it... and the list goes on and on and on. Way too many crybabies on this job. I could care less what some guy in a unit that I have nothing to do with does with his car. I dont care if they give him a helicopter... If it doesnt effect me then I dont give a sh*t. If people get out early and get take home cars then GOOD FOR YOU BROTHER! Way to work the system and get yourself out of pushin a beat car. I have no problem working a beat car. Ive been doing it for 22 years straight with a few years in tac. Stop tattling on the next guy JUST because he has it better than you. If you dont like the job of working a beat car then you should have been a fireman. Nobody guarantees you get a spot... these guys did(clout or not) and its good for them. Stop crying.

According to your "theory" of ball licking and dumb fuckism they should be taking their own car and putting their personal vehicles at risk while responding to police duties. Do you even know what "drinking the kool-aid" means? What do you think your uncle Rahm is going to be doing next? Your jealous of a take home car. Get over it you fucking child.

Its about crying because someone else has something that I dont have. I dont get a take home car so Im gonna whine about it. Im gonna cry because a guy used his take home car to pick his kids up from school(god forbid)... and whats your argument... If I have to pick my kids up from school with my own car then they should.. which proves the point of jealousy. Good lord, cant coppers not cry about something for at least one day. Sitting at roll call it use to be laughs and good times, now its poor me poor me, I get screwed. Give me a fu*king break! We talk about unit cohesion but coppers are the first ones to steam roll another copper. Hes got a car and I dont so im gonna cry. He got out early im gonna cry, he got taken care of by the watch commander im gonna pout, he got put on the incident car on the watch im gonna talk behind his back and be bitter about it... and the list goes on and on and on. Way too many crybabies on this job. I could care less what some guy in a unit that I have nothing to do with does with his car. I dont care if they give him a helicopter... If it doesnt effect me then I dont give a sh*t. If people get out early and get take home cars then GOOD FOR YOU BROTHER! Way to work the system and get yourself out of pushin a beat car. I have no problem working a beat car. Ive been doing it for 22 years straight with a few years in tac. Stop tattling on the next guy JUST because he has it better than you. If you dont like the job of working a beat car then you should have been a fireman. Nobody guarantees you get a spot... these guys did(clout or not) and its good for them. Stop crying.

HMMM, harsh words... Im kind of torn how I feel about what you said but for the most part it is true. This department does have way too many cry babies. I really dont care about take home cars either. I believe the driving force for all the anger is because people are pissed others get perks and they dont. but as you said, oh well too bad. They were smart enough to use a call to get out of patrol. If you dont have a phone call dont blame them. Blame yourself for coming on this job with no plan. This is cpd not the burbs or state police. Things are not legit here. Didnt you get the memo when you got hired?? I love watching the bitching at roll call unlike the poster above. It makes me realize that my life on this job just isnt as bad as them. Im sure you will catch flak for your comments but it was well said and a good read and I do agree with you...
Yes, if you are called out regularly - i.e. SWAT, you should have a take home car.
And sadly, these guys do not. But do nothing fucking Lts do.
It's a mad, mad world.
I worked CTA special employment over the weekend. I noticed how dirty the terminals were prior to the start of the race. Really cutting back, and driving this city into the ground huh rahmayor.
So the city wants to save money by having the bigwigs take public transportation instead of driving.
HOW FN STUPID CAN 9.5 BE?????
If I were in that position, I would apply.
Instead of taking a car, driving, and being there in, say, 45 minutes to an hour, I would take the bus and show up in probably 2 hours.
Unless I make an arrest on the bus. Then who knows when I will get there.
I'll believe this shit when Rahm gives up his limo and driver.
What a hypocrit this guy is!
Don't do as I do! Do as I say, Napoleonic mentality!
What a Tool!
Is Mayor Rahm Emmanuel, who is suing the airlines for denying the City the sales tax for their fuel because they route the sale through Kankakee, the same Rahm Emmanuel that tried to have his north shore suburban home classified as a religious learning center so he wouldn't have to pay high real estate taxes????
maybe the 704 intelligence troll who has his cubicle wallpapered with zerox copies of all his fluffed up diplomas can ride the tubes and make the subway safer?
