Take the Pillar Study Surveys

As we continue to work on our landmark Pillar Studies, we ask that you contribute your opinions by taking two online surveys addressing our system redesign and fare equity studies. We invite as much participation as possible to ensure we’re acting in line with the wants and needs of our region. T We thank you in advance for your answers!

Also as part of our ongoing studies, our final round of community meetings will extend into October. These sessions have been an invaluable source of input as we work to accommodate those we serve. We hope you’ll join us on one of the following dates:

Before attending the meetings, we suggest you watch the presentation Jarrett Walker + Associates gave back in July.

Additionally, LTK Engineering Services shared an interim report on the fare equity study with an early draft of recommendations. A number of approaches and enhancements have been suggested, but no final decisions have been made, so your opinions will be very helpful.

RTA is a Safe Place

RTA is proud to designate each of its vehicles as a Safe Place. As part of a national program, Safe Places are public locations where young people in crisis situations can get help immediately. Safe Place signs are displayed on all RTA buses and trains.

Any youth (age 17 and younger) can go to a Safe Place in any type of emergency situation. The services offered are free for both them and their families.

How to Seek Help

Just tell the bus or train operator that you’re there because of the Safe Place sign. They will notify a Road Supervisor or Transit Police Officer, who will meet the bus or train at a nearby location, usually within 15 – 20 minutes.

They will either transport you to a Safe Place shelter partner or have a Safe Place volunteer come to meet with you. RTA shelter partners have counselors who care and want to help.

Going to the shelter is voluntary; once you go, no one will force you to stay. Parents have to be notified, but counselors are there to help you work things out.

Ride RTA to Playhouse Square

Playhouse Square has several marquee names heading to its stages throughout the month, ranging from comedian Jerry Seinfeld (October 11), to author David Sedaris (October 19), and singer Trisha Yearwood (October 27). You can also catch the shows Summer: The Donna Summer Musical (October 8 – 27) and The Music Man (October 9 – November 10).

You can fully enjoy the theater while avoiding all the drama of parking.

Simply take RTA’s HealthLine or C-Line Trolley, both of which have stops in Playhouse Square. The HealthLine offers 24/7 service and drives in a dedicated bus lane, which means your trip will be as quick as it is convenient. Meanwhile, the C-Line Trolley’s route runs through several of the city’s districts, so you can enjoy dinner almost anywhere downtown and still make it to your show. Bonus: it’s free! Both options are definitely worthy of a standing ovation.

See the Renovated Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse

Check out our beautiful, newly remodeled arena while also enjoying live performances from Carrie Underwood (October 16) and Celine Dion (October 18) when their respective tours stop at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Or enjoy limited time engagements like the Jurassic World Live Tour (October 3 – 6) and WWE Monday Night Raw (October 21).

And remember that you can easily ride RTA right to the action. Just park for free at one of our secure lots, take any Rapid line to Tower City, and stroll through the convenient Walkway.
