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.
