Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority rider group Clevelanders for Public Transit is hoping more riders and community group leaders will soon be a appointed to the GCRTA Board of Trustees.
Group chair Chris Martin told News 5 the move is needed to better address rider issues like GCRTA's aging fleet, a shortage in public bathrooms, bus stop security improvements, cuts in service and an increase in fares.
“We’ve got 40-year-old train cars that are held together with bubble gum and duct tape," Martin said."This year, during just last month's cold snap when RTA was running trains, they were running just one train per line. So you had to wait for an hour.” "We have to address RTA issues, the cost of ridership, what that plays on those communities that are struggling everyday to make end meet. To get new buses into our fleet that we currently have, to make sure we are assessing where people are riding from.”
The new Cuyahoga County executive's administration also issued a statement in response to our story:
