From the Mayor August 1 – 3, 2016 Dear Friends: On behalf of the citizens of our great city, I am pleased to welcome you to Cleveland for the International Symposium on Flexible Automation. I hope you will take this opportunity to experience our warm Cleveland hospitality and all the amenities and fun of this five-time All-American city. Currently, there is an enormous amount of capital being invested in Cleveland – from a new Global Center for Health Innovation and the Cleveland Convention Center to a redeveloped lakefront area. Also, the region is home to four world-class healthcare institutions, 80+ biomedical companies and four higher education institutions dedicated to health and technology education, research, and workforce training. Cleveland, located on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie, is a vibrant and growing city with a rich history, world-class attractions and a vast array of arts and culture to experience. Our city is home to a unique tapestry of people and offers 36 unique neighborhoods with more than 77 different cultural groups. This diversity can be celebrated across the city at places like the West Side Market in Ohio City, Murray Hill in Little Italy, Asia Plaza in AsiaTown or the Waterloo Arts and Entertainment District in the Collinwood neighborhood. From the famous Playhouse Square Theater District, to the energy of Progressive Field, FirstEnergy Stadium and Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland is full of excitement. Home of venues like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Greater Cleveland Aquarium and JACK Casino, as well as unique dining experiences and nightlife in the downtown districts of East Fourth Street, the Warehouse District and the Flats; Cleveland surely has something you will love. Once again, welcome! I hope you enjoy all that we have to offer and get to share in the experiences that are uniquely Cleveland. Sincerely, Frank G. Jackson, Mayor .

It was an honor to represent RTA at the ribbon-cutting for the Flats East Bank project that relies on RTA to transport their visitors and their workers to this new world-class waterfront attraction. RTA also cut the ribbon on its new Lee/Van Aken Blue Line Rail Station in Shaker Heights. This modern, safe and ADA accessible station will better connect residents to all the region has to offer. Our hard work throughout the year did not go unnoticed. RTA received accolades by way of Metro Magazine’s Innovative Solutions Award in the area of Safety for taking an aggressive approach to increase operator safety and improving driving behavior and creating a safer experience for transit riders with the use of DriveCam. Speaking of hard work, it truly paid off when RTA Board Member Valerie J. McCall was elected Chair of the American Public Transportation Association. RTA is proud of this accomplishment. Not only does this bring positive attention to Greater Cleveland RTA, but this allows Chair McCall to help shape what the future of the industry will be. RTA is certainly the only transit system in the nation to have two APTA Chairs (past and present) serving on its Board of Trustees. Congratulations Valarie J. McCall and George Dixon!!! During the quarter, RTA received the Silver Commitment to Excellence from The Partnership for Excellence, recognizing the Authority's continued efforts toward obtaining the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
