The HealthLine offers convenient service to Fairfax, Midtown, Campus District, East Cleveland, and Downtown.

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.

With CWRU students beginning to return, we would like to reiterate the importance of safe driving for pedestrians: • Drive at or below the speed limit. You are less likely to see people crossing the street when you are going too fast. • Yield to people crossing at intersections and marked crosswalks. Every intersection is a crosswalk – painted or not. • Stop well before the crosswalk to allow other drivers to see the person crossing so they can stop too. • Proceed with extra caution during low visibility conditions such as nighttime or bad weather.
