This fall, we celebrate a truly remarkable milestone — 45 years of safe operating and 47 years of service from Paratransit Operator James “Jimmy” E. Smith.
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) Transit Police K-9, Kubo, has become the proud recipient of a custom designed protective vest, thanks to the fund-raising efforts of 10-year-old Brady Snakovsky of Strongsville.
I spent two days at Transit Police in-service training as part of their annual training days. Along with nine other officers attending this training, we learned basic tactical medicine and active threat response.
Here at RTA the pride we feel in our work is across the board, and that’s no exception for our Transit Police Department. RTA has its very own Color Guard/Honor Guard and they stand at the forefront of the department’s pride.
Can you believe it? It’s been 10 years since Sustainable Cleveland launched in 2009! Please join us for the Sustainable Cleveland 2019 Summit on October 16th at Cleveland Public Auditorium, where we will celebrate 10 years of progress and build our future.
One of the advances RTA made a few years back was the introduction of real-time vehicle location and stop time prediction. This gave our customers access to decision-making tools they didn't previously have available, and made choosing transit an easier option.
RTA is investing in a well-rounded experience for all riders, with all vehicles in its fleet offering free WiFi to riders.
