Free Cleveland RTA micro-transit program will cover last-mile rides to jobs

  • Date: 07/28/2023

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority is launching a new workforce connector program to expand job opportunities in North Olmsted, Fairview Park, Brookpark, Berea, Middleburg Heights and western Cleveland.

Employees and jobseekers who use the 54, 78 or 86 bus lines or who ride the Red Line can be picked up at RTA’s Brookpark Station and shuttled for free directly to their jobs throughout the Aerozone Alliance region, which includes Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and the NASA Glenn Research Center. They’re dropped back at the station at the end of their work day.

SHARE Mobility provides the last- and first-mile transportation and schedules rides in advance to ensure efficiency. It also funds half of the cost, with RTA, though a state grant, paying the other half — up to $300,000, depending on the number of rides given.
