Greater Cleveland RTA
Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) operates 7 bus routes, the Euclid Avenue HealthLine (bus rapid transit) and the Red Line (heavy rail) routes to and through the district. The HealthLine offers convenient service to Fairfax, Midtown, Campus District, East Cleveland, and Downtown. The Red Line offers direct service to Downtown Cleveland and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. RTA also provides Paratransit service for people with disabilities.

NextConnect on RTA's Website
RTA's NextConnect service uses satellite and GPS-based technology to monitor bus locations in real-time.
Transit App
The Transit app provides real-time arrival info for RTA’s buses and trains as well as the BlueLink, GreenLink, Heights AM & Evening South shuttle routes. Launch “Go” to get step-by-step navigation from Daniel, a friendly British robot. You can also plan a trip and set reminders.
Vanpool
Vanpool is a good option for people who want to take transit but do not leave near a bus or train line. RTA’s newVanShare program subsidizes the cost of participating commuters who begin or end their trips in Cuyahoga County. A vanpool is like a carpool but with at least 5 people sharing a van on a contract basis. Vanpool networks extend the transit network beyond its current bounds, while offering similar costs and benefits.

Enterprise Vanpool
RideShare by Enterprise provides vanpool and rideshare services for individuals, employers and government agencies.
GCRTA Vanshare
By adding VanShare, GCRTA hopes to increase the total number of area residents using its safe, reliable, clean, and courteous public transportation services.

If you’re coming from the Akron area or Lake County, find out which transit options are available to you. Akron Metro’s Route 61 provides direct service to University Circle from Akron Metro’s Transit Center. Laketran riders have one free transfer to either RTA’s Red Line or HealthLine for service to University Circle.
