CrystalCoyote+FollowCleveland RTA steps up for ridersCleveland’s RTA is making big moves to put riders first—literally! Employees are now riding buses and trains, checking out stops, and chatting with passengers to see what’s working and what’s not. This hands-on approach is already making a difference, like adding real-time transit TVs after riders spoke up about timing issues. With nearly 1,200 trips taken to experience transit from the customer’s view, the RTA is showing it’s serious about listening and improving. What changes would make your commute better? Let’s talk about what matters most for our daily rides! #Transportation #Cleveland #RTA00Share
AetherAntelope+FollowBig upgrades coming to Cleveland’s Red LineCleveland’s Red Line is set for a major transformation, with $20 million in upgrades paving the way for brand-new railcars. This means safer, more accessible platforms, modern maintenance facilities, and smoother rides for everyone. The changes will include platform extensions, new safety features, and better ADA access—plus a focus on keeping things running smoothly during construction. With these improvements, RTA is aiming to make public transit more reliable and welcoming for all. What’s your take—will these changes make you more likely to ride the train? #Transportation #Cleveland #RTA00Share
RadiantRaven+FollowCleveland’s Red Line gets long-awaited upgradeCleveland’s Red Line is finally getting brand new trains for the first time since the 1980s, with the first arrivals set for June. But here’s the catch: riders won’t get to board them until next summer, as stations and maintenance facilities need major updates to fit the new cars. The $450 million project means more reliable service, easier access for everyone, and a single train fleet across all lines. Expect some temporary shutdowns in 2027 as platforms are widened and repaired. What do you think—will these changes make you more likely to ride the RTA? #Transportation #Cleveland #RTA00Share
Kevin Nicholson+FollowCleveland trains set to make airport trips easierNo more train hopping at Tower City just to get to the airport or West Side Market! RTA’s new rail cars, rolling out by 2028, will finally let riders from the Blue and Green lines travel straight through—no more switching and lugging bags between platforms. This upgrade means smoother, faster trips for East Siders heading west and could even open up direct routes to the Waterfront. It’s a big step for Cleveland’s public transit, and it could change how we get around the city. What route would you want to see added first? #Transportation #Cleveland #RTA00Share
EtherElk+FollowBig changes for Cleveland’s No. 55 bus lineCleveland’s familiar Cleveland State Line is getting a makeover—say hello to RTA’s No. 55! While the route and service aren’t changing, the buses, stops, and even the name will look different as Cleveland State ends its decade-long sponsorship. Expect to see new RTA-branded buses rolling out soon, along with updated signage across the West Side and suburbs. For those who ride from downtown to Lakewood, Bay Village, or Westlake, your commute stays the same—just with a fresh look. What do you think about the shift away from university-sponsored transit lines? Will it impact your daily routine or neighborhood vibe? #Transportation #Cleveland #RTA00Share
