All my UrbanOhio friends out there. I am currently involved in civic engagement program that aids young professional in finding their civic voice. One important part of our work is to help various community groups develop projects from idea into reality. Specifically our group is helping to raise awareness of the issues with JOB ACCESS and TRANSPORTATION in Northeast Ohio. I am reaching out to you, my peers, to solicit stories about your everyday struggles of using public transportation to access work, healthcare, food and any other important part of your daily life. If you have any stories that you would like to share please email me. All stories will be subject to sharing in a public platform but identities can be withheld if you deem necessary. If you know someone who struggles with these issues please feel free to have them reach out to me as well. Thank you all. Let's help to make NEO a better place.

I can't share my stories, but they involve people having difficulty getting to court via public transportation.  Some local muni courts are on bus routes but some aren't.  Cuyahoga County juvenile court is easily accessible via the red line train but that only helps if you live near the red line.  Many other west siders have a crosstown bus trip to deal with.  Even if you live on the east side, you may need to go downtown and transfer to reach 93rd and Quincy.
