RTA is the most convenient way for me to get to work. If I drove with traffic, it would take the same amount of time. It also gives me 24 minutes of walking per day, and I know that walking is important.

Pamela Gray

I ride UH Bikes on my lunch break. I would ride to work if there were a kiosk close to my house!

Hannah Ruddock

Case Western Reserve University Employee

I always choose to walk around University Circle, Little Italy and the museums. Within the Circle, it’s easier to get around by walking and biking.

William O’Neal

Local Resident

I no longer have my car, which was my main mode of transportation, I decided to take RTA. I’ve started taking the bus, and it has been a great experience.

Adam Whiting

Cleveland School of the Arts Employee

I chose my home for its proximity to my work—only a 4-block commute. I usually walk (7 minutes, all weather), but I bike if I have other places to go—grocery store, gigs, dinner, etc.

Russell Fedewa

Cleveland Clinic Foundation

Since starting at the Cleveland Clinic over 5 years ago, I have cycled to work all but a handful of days. Cycling to work in the morning helps me wake up and gets the blood moving. I am in a better mood and less stressed by cycling. I find driving a car to be frustrating especially at commuting times.

There are so many things such a short distance from here. It's fun and easy to get there on a bike. I've taken my bike to a doctors appointments at University Hospitals. Afterwards, I can cruise over to CVS on E 79th and hit the gym before coming home. I feel more involved in what's going on in my community traveling by bike.

I take the bus because it's easier on the environment. It also saves me some money.

I catch the HealthLine because I can listen to music. I like the bus because I don’t have to worry about other drivers. I also take walks for exercise by the duck pond. It helps to keep me calm.
