Earth Day Ushers In Possible RTA Route Cuts

April 22nd, 2009 · 3 Comments

How non-green can you get on Earth Day? Ask RTA. Maybe it’s a trial balloon, or maybe it’s a serious consideration. What am I talking about? The potential to eliminate weekend bus routes. Wouldn’t that be helpful to the NE Ohio economy? Not to mention use of fuel. Sigh.  You can read about this here  on [...]

Oh Ye of Little Faith! Speak Up and It Just Might Work: Berea 86F Route Is Saved!!!

November 6th, 2008 · No Comments

No Joke, they had a meeting at Berea City Hall, a meeting agreed upon by Mr. Calabrese of RTA because there was a serious grassroots effort by the long time riders of this route. And they convinced him to keep it! Tonight’s run was supposed to be its last. But the riders, after a months-long [...]

RTA Suspends Plans to Make Cuts in Service and Raise Fares

August 13th, 2008 · No Comments

Thank goodness for public protest. Something tells me this State money was available way before now, and I am hoping the RTA powers that be, with the support of local government, will continue to lead the way to getting available monies and not do it after the fact as it seems in this case. What [...]

August 12th, 2008 · No Comments

Gloria Ferris did this the old fashioned way…without an Internet connection so she could blog this. Kudos, many kudos, to her for providing what seems like a very detailed report on the public hearing RTA held at the Main Library Downtown.  Peace Out – 3C

How Do We Promote Better Commuting Strategies?

July 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

I don’t suppose people who ride the bus or take light rail or car pool will get any relief, how about a 3% tax break for those who don’t drive? Anyway, here is the PD blog post outlining Rep. LaTourette’s Commuter Relief and Fuel Efficiency Act bill/proposal.  What about using that same money to increase [...]

RTA Ridership Numbers: Do They Count Everyone?

June 30th, 2008 · No Comments

My answer is no. I’ve been riding my own route (the #22 bus) and a few others when needed. I’ve been riding since the second week of May and at least twice a week I ride without having my pass swiped on the bus. RTA is planning their own audit and you can read about [...]

How Do We Make A Viable Public Transportation System in NE Ohio? Or Can We?

June 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I check out the headlines before I sign off for the night-including the PD.  Tonight there was a glaring headline about RTA losing money and maybe even having to cut more routes. They claim (RTA does) ridership is up 10% and many buses along the routes are full. That’s good right? Yes and no. Because [...]

The Zen of The Bus

Today I had an open house at Pointe At Gateway. Okay, let me back up. First I met with sellers at a new listing at Fries & Schuele, then since I was at the office, my manager drove me to The Pointe.  (I had an open house sign….which I left there since I plan on [...]

Can A Realtor® Ride The Bus and Still Do Her Job?

June 13th, 2008 · 5 Comments

The short answer is yes, with a few caveats. My car became more trouble than it was worth so about three weeks ago I joined the list of newly bus passed commuters. The easy part is getting to and from my office. The #22 picks me up at the corner of my street and takes [...]
