Without the hardworking operators and mechanics at RTA, we'd never get anywhere. That's why this year we celebrate those hardworking union folks with a gift of coffee and doughnuts to the agency's two district bus garages.
Two RTA emplpoyees stand over several boxes of doughtnuts.Two RTA employees wearing blue agency uniforms. The man on the far left holds a cup of coffee and the woman in the middle holds a box of doughnuts. On the right, a man in red pants and a yellow sweatshirt with the text "Fund Public Transit" on it holds a box of doughnuts.A flyer that is yellow on top and green on the bottom with a skyline inbetween. The flyer is advertising Transit Equity Day 2026. It says "For Just and Equitable Mass Transit" and was created by the Labor Network for Sustainability.A mosaic of puctures featuring public transit workers and community members at rallies for public transit funding.

Awesome to see @clefortransit.bsky.social and @clmwalkscle.bsky.social move the conversation forward on keeping RTA vibrant. On Sunday RTA got me home from the airport, saving my loved ones a trip through the snow. We need RTA around for another 50 years signalcleveland.org/cleveland-rt...

Don’t let disingenuous arguments and exaggerated language like "bus superhighway" shape the future of West 25th. The real debate is whether to cling to yesterday’s parking priorities, or to embrace today’s evidence-driven solutions that prioritize people over cars.

Although transit has only a small percentage of mode share, this represents an opportunity to grow ridership, reduce fatalities, and for @CityofCleveland to meet its Climate Action Plan goal of increasing transit ridership by 50% by 2030. clevelandohio.gov/sites/clevel...

If saftey were really the priority, Sam would support bold transit solutions that attract riders. According to @APTA_info and @Visionzeronet , even modest increases in transit ridership see large drops in traffic fatalities: apta.com/wp-content/u...

The Market District has ample off-street parking, so keeping parking on W 25th isn’t essential. Reallocating the curb lane to buses and bikes can make GCRTA more reliable, improve safety by separating bikes from mixed traffic, and improve visibility.

Clevelanders for Public Transit @clefortransit.bsky.social · 29/08/2025
The MetroHealth Line and the other GCRTA routes that use W 25th between Lorain and Detroit make it one of the busiest transit corridors in the city, and buses that use this corridor are often delayed. Fixing this requires rethinking curb space. riderta.com/sites/defaul...

In his op-ed opposing bus lanes on W 25th, Sam McNulty claims “it isn’t about parking,” yet concludes by demanding on-street parking be preserved. That contradiction shows parking is a core concern-one that risks trading reliable transit for car storage.

A prime example of why we need bus lanes on W.25th. This is an everyday occurance on this stretch. WIth Bus lanes buses can get to their destinations on time and cars wouldn't have to contend with them either. Thanks to @kezl.bsky.social for the footage.
