The Chicago Transit Authority board took part in some ethical troubleshooting Friday related to an advertising agreement with the city.

The item in question was a “co-promotional trade agreement” between the CTA and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events that allows the transit agency to promote programming and ridership initiatives at events like the Taste of Chicago and the Chicago Blues and Jazz Festivals. Each of those events draws an average of around 500,000 visitors per year.
