“Cleveland is our hometown and our Huntington family applauds and takes pride in the achievements of Cleveland’s RTA, particularly the designation of the HealthLine as the highest quality bus rapid transit corridor in the country. Huntington’s sponsorship of the HealthLine station directly outside our Public Square headquarters reinforces our commitment to the city, expands our bank’s presence and supports the RTA in its mission of keeping Cleveland connected,” said Dan Walsh, president for Huntington Bank in Northeast Ohio.

The HealthLine was named as part of an agreement with University Hospitals and the Cleveland Clinic.
