I'm all for the bus lanes on Clifton, but this seems like a horrendous waste of resources to have 2 officers in a full-sized SUV performing this function. They don't roll 2 deep. It was probably a field training officer training a rookie. Also probably making him write all the tickets.

In my weekday experience they are at least 4 deep at tower city. I can say that I’ve never seen one alone and that there is always at least two of them. not trying to be argumentative just providing my weekday anecdotal experience.

I can say that I’ve never seen one alone and that there is always at least two of them. not trying to be argumentative just providing my weekday anecdotal experience. I'm just specifically talking about how many officers they put in a zone car. I'm sure at tower city there's multiple units. Like in Cleveland we have two man cars for code 1 and 2 priorities and one man cars that handle report runs and accidents. It doesn't mean that multiple one man cars won't show up to an accident or if there's a large accident a two man car won't handle it. It's just how we allocate bodies for assigned duties. Everytime I'd do something with RTA all of their cars seemed to be one man cars, and they would just swarm one man cars to anything serious that involved their property. Maybe that's changed since I last interacted with them and now have both one man and two man cars. I do know they recently hired a bunch of new people though, which would require a lot of training officers hand holding them through probation.
August 29, 20231 yr Historically RTA fares have been a much lower share of revenue than MTA. In 2021, the most recent year I could find, fares tanked to 5% of revenue down from 20% a decade before. And for another look, fares were $22 million in 2022 and $49.9 million in 2012. https://www.riderta.com/ACFR/2021

September 21, 20231 yr Question. Would it be a good idea to explore the possibility of having a station near West 25th and Detroit?With that area already being busy, coupled with the guaranteed to be popular Irishtown Bend and the future investments that are going to come because of it, I feel it would be good to have a WFL station near it.The West 25th street station is too far to be an effective rail stop for it and because of the dead zone between it and Detroit beyond bridge avenue the walking experience isn’t the best. Are there old tracks that could be reactivated or would a major project have to take place?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its expiration date was early next year so it shouldn't be an issue, right? Invalid Invalid Invalid And since there are no card machines on that side of the station, I couldn't even buy a new one to exit. The clerk had to unlock the gate so I could honor code walk past her to a working machine, then turn around and hand her the card. What is this third world s**t???

October 24, 20231 yr AAO Northeast Ohio Chapter event: Cleveland RTA Rail Maintenance Facility Tour Friday, Dec 01, 2:30 PM East 55th Station - Red Line Platform (For drivers: 6200 Grand Ave, Cleveland, OH 44104, USA) Join the Northeast Ohio Chapter of AAO for an educational event on Friday, December 1, 2023! RTA will provide a tour of the rail maintenance facility near the East 55th station, then they will deliver a presentation on the future rail fleet (the Siemens S200 high floor, light rail vehicle), followed by an open Question and Answer session with RTA staff. The event in the maintenance facility will go from 3pm to approximately 4:30. (The maintenance facility tour has some optional portions that require climbing steps.) Rail riders should meet at the East 55th station on the Red Line platform at 2:30pm. RTA staff will meet the group at 2:40 and walk them over to the maintenance facility. The walk is roughly one half mile and has several sets of steps. Alternatively, guests can drive to the event and use the RTA facility east gate at 6200 Grand Ave, Cleveland OH. (Take Opportunity Corridor to East 75th, turn north, immediately turn left on Grand Ave, take that to the end of the road, and then enter through the RTA gate. If the gate is closed, use the call box to gain access. Proceed to the Central Rail Maintenance Facility Parking, and then enter the building at the east door by the loading dock. Maintenance facility tour will start at 3pm.) If you're curious - yes, kids are welcome to join. Sorry that the time isn't particularly conducive for that. I'm planning to bring my kids (11 and 9 years old). Please register by November 28 so that we can give RTA an approximate headcount: https://www.allaboardohio.org/event-details/cleveland-rta-rail-maintenance-facility-tour Hey @Foraker @GISguy @Clefan14 @MyPhoneDead @Whipjacka @Cleburger @NateWiz0206 @KJP @gildone @neony @ColDayMan When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
