In the end, the government decides, but what I mentioned would be the case for allowing mixed use.

Trains are totally designed to crash, which is why they have crash standards, the same as automobiles. If the ATP fails or there is type of failure that ATP cannot prevent then you want other measures in place to mitigate the crash. Using vehicles that do not meet crash standards is not a good idea and I can't imagine any reason why the CTA would approve it.
