Ride RTA and take a stand against high gas pricesAn essential part of a balanced transportation system

In our automobile culture, transit gets little respect, but it's a vital part of a healthy, sustainable city. In Northeast Ohio, cities haven't come close to realizing the promise of transit — especially at a time of rising gasoline costs when people need affordable transportation choices.

This section will tell the story of the region's transit challenges. What would you like to see?

Or a rails-to-trails link?

Marc Lefkowitz Says:

What do you think about the possibility of converting a line like that to a bike trail? With the Heights Circulator now splitting its route in two including a dedicated leg that shuttles between Shaker Square and Coventry (with connections to the University Circle Red Line station), it seems to me that surface streets take care of the train connection. What we need more of, in my opinion, are safer bike boulevards and paths. Do you have a map of where this rail line runs? Could a Rails to Trails initiative on the Conrail line link up with Shaker Heights' planning department's desire to build an off-road bike path in the vicinity of North Park?
