[Ohio-talk] question about paratransit

[Cheryl Fischer]

Kelsy,

You might consider staying at the Cleveland Sight Center if they are
offering that option to you. Paratransit to and from Parma could mean very
long transit rides each morning and evening. If you stayed at the Sight
Center, you could still get RTA paratransit and spend weekends with your
sister. Just a thought.

Hi Kelsy,
     I'm not sure about paratransit offering a temporary pass.  The phone
number for rta in cleveland is 216-621-9500.  You can call them and ask
their customer service rep and they will be able to answer your question.

        Take care Jerry
