  • We Support the Ohio Department of Transportation's Program to Make
    We support the Ohio Department of Transportation’s program to make public transit funding a priority.1 Ohio needs a strategy to make our transportation sector more environmentally and economically sustainable. A 21st century transportation system includes not only roads and highways, but also a complete network of alternative transportation, including rail within our cities and across the state, hybrid buses (both new and retrofitted), streetcars, bikable, walkable neighborhoods, and complete streets. Transportation is the backbone of Ohio’s economy. Where goes transportation, so goes economic development. For the past few decades, however, Ohio lacked a smart approach to transportation projects and underinvested in public transportation. The old approach took an enormous toll on our cities and towns—spreading jobs, stores, child care, health care, schools, universities, and training centers all over the map, and making it nearly impossible for Ohioans to get by without cars. 1. Cars are expensive to own, operate and maintain. For middle-income families, transportation costs for essential trips represent up to 20 percent of basic family budgets, depending on location and family size. Low-income workers spend an even larger share of their paychecks on transportation for essential purposes. Ex. A Cleveland-area single mother working full-time at minimum wage makes less than $15,000 a year and spends 83 percent of pre-tax income on rent, utilities and food alone. That leaves her about $166 a month for transportation, health care, child care, and everything else, making $300 to own and operate a car, prohibitively expensive. 2. For the elderly and those with disabilities, driving a car may not be an option at all.

After nearly 3 years of extensive community outreach and research, the RTA Board of Trustees adopted in 1993 the Authority's first-ever long-range plan, Transit 2010. Transit 2010 recognized that Cleveland's transit route network had changed very little in over 30 years. As a result, it proposed a coordinated network of community circulators, park & ride lots, transit centers and rail extensions to reach out to the population and jobs that had moved to outlying areas of the region over that period.
