Behind the scenes we have been working hard on increasing state funding for transit.
Ohio is one of the worst states for funding public transportation. We only spend 63 cents per person on transit, less than 1.5% of Ohio’s transportation budget.
Due to state budget changes in the way Medicaid is taxed, RTA will be losing over $20 million starting in 2019. That will mean massive cuts in service, layoffs, and potentially more fare increases. The Ohio State Senate is poised to make a decision about our biennial Transportation Budget soon.

Please share this with friends nearby, especially residents of Lorain and Huron counties as well as Twinsburg, Hudson, Stow, Fairlawn, Wooster. Their senators need to be engaged on this issue!
If you are interested in providing written or video testimony to the state senate we can help. Please contact us ASAP at info@clefortransit.org
