The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) operates five bus routes, the Euclid Avenue HealthLine (bus rapid transit) and the Red Line (heavy rail) with service to University Circlet. 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.

Vanpool

Vanpool is a good option for people who want to take transit but do not leave near a bus or train line. 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.
