> After 139 days of suspended service, the Park-N-Ride vehicles finally rode back out into service. This was done in preparation for the fall service change and is welcome news for riders as we all adjust to a "new normal". GCRTA is excited to welcome riders back to the Park-N-Ride and would like to remind riders of our commitment to providing Safe, Reliable, Clean and Courteous service.

The purpose of the press conference was to call on Congress to pass a $36 billion Federal aid package for public transit. Many transit systems are facing unprecedented financial catastrophes amid declining ridership and loss in sales tax revenue.

Our staff is conducting Need a Mask, Take a Mask events, where riders will receive a mask, CDC instructions for wearing and washing, and information on GCRTA's mobile ticketing app. Riders who are unable to attend an event can obtain mask packs from the Louis Stokes Station at Windermere or at the Tower City Rotunda.
