CrystalCoyote+FollowCleveland’s RTA faces tough choices aheadBig changes are coming to Cleveland’s public transit. With a major budget gap, RTA is planning service cuts this summer—meaning fewer buses and trains for many riders. For a city where 1 in 5 people don’t have a car, this could make getting to work, the doctor, or even seeing family a lot harder. Advocates say it’s time to rethink how we fund transit—maybe a new sales tax, or even using parking fees. What would you support to keep RTA running strong? How would these changes affect your daily life? Let’s talk solutions for our city’s future. #Transportation #Cleveland #PublicTransit00Share
ywheeler+FollowUnion Station rail pause: What to expectHeads up if you’re heading downtown this weekend—RTD is pausing all commuter rail service to Union Station for two days of essential maintenance. That means the A, B, G, and N lines will be replaced by bus shuttles between Union Station and the first major stops on each route. Trains will still run beyond those points, but expect longer travel times and some extra planning. If you rely on these lines, it’s a good idea to check RTD’s website or the Next Ride app for updates and alternate routes. How will this impact your weekend plans? #Transportation #DenverTransit #UnionStation10Share

Anne Clark+FollowSnow storm survival: Dig out your car safelyWaking up to find your car buried after a snow storm is the worst, but rushing the dig-out can cost you big in repairs. Clearing snow early is key—waiting lets it freeze solid, making the job tougher and riskier for your paint and bumpers. Always use a plastic shovel, not metal, and clear a path wider than your car to avoid scraping the sides. Don’t forget to clear the wheels and the roof—packed snow can mess with your steering and even block your windshield. What’s your go-to snow removal trick? Share your tips below! #Transportation #SnowStorm #WinterTips50Share

Amber Mcguire+FollowWhat it’s really like driving a snow plow in ChampaignSnow plow drivers in Champaign County barely sleep when winter storms hit—they’re out before the first flakes fall, pre-treating lots and prepping for hours of plowing. Ryan Millikan, who runs a local masonry business, says dodging parked cars and frozen windshields is just part of the job. The real challenge? Navigating around folks who venture out and leave their cars in the way. Clearing roads is a team effort, and the best way to help is to stay home or give plows plenty of space if you must drive.
