GCRTA

Mission
To provide safe, reliable, clean and courteous public transportation.

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (officially the GCRTA, but historically and locally referred to as the RTA) is the public transit agency for Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding suburbs of Cuyahoga County. 

The GCRTA is the largest transit agency in Ohio, providing over 44 million trips to residents and visitors of the Cleveland area in 2010. The GCRTA owns and operates the RTA Rapid Transit rail system (called «The Rapid» by area residents), which consists of one heavy rail line (the Red Line) and three light rail lines (Blue, Green, Waterfront). The bulk of GCRTA’s service consists of buses, including regular routes, express or flyer buses, loop and paratransit buses.
