>>
>> This internship will require me to travel around Cleveland in order to

>> throughout the week if I'm selected for the internship as well so I
>> could troubleshoot and anticipate my transportation needs in advance

>> Kaiti,
>>
>> First, let me congratulate you on completing your course work and
>> transferring into your internship.  Secondly, welcome hopefully to
>> Cleveland.
>>
>> As you know there are two NFB Chapters in Cleveland and I know anyone in
>> the
>> two will be able to assist you with information that will aid you in a
>> successful stay.
>>
>> As for my transportation needs, I am an Uber, Para Transit, Private
>> driver,
>> relative and street bus rider.
>>
>> Uber and Lift are very prominent, rapid and user friendly.  There pick-up
>> times are usually no more than 6 minutes in the surrounding areas of
>> Cleveland. I reside downtown and travel for work and activities in the
>> areas
>> that you stated.
>>
>> University Circle is a busy area, due to both large hospitals; Cleveland
>> Clinic and University Hospital.  Also, Case Western Reserve College,
>> several
>> Museums, shopping and restaurants circle the University area.  The
>> Cleveland
>> Sight Center, many Churches and living quarters are there as well.   And,
>> Euclid Ohio is just up the street from University Circle.
>>
>> Because I am downtown, West Cleveland, Central Cleveland, North, South
>> and
>> East are very easy for me to travel to.  Therefore, my options are
>> plentiful.  I can call an Uber just about anywhere in the County and they
>> are available.  We have several cab companies as well, Yellow, City, Ace
>> and
>> more.  Since I am not sure of where you will reside.  I cannot tell you
>> much
>> about how Para Transit will work.  But, the service here is 24-7 per week
>> at
>> $2.50 each way.  It travels from county-line to county-line; including
>> suburbs of Euclid, Parma, Bedford, Garfield, Beachwood, Cleveland
>> Heights,
>> Middleburg Heights and many more.  The service accommodates many wide
>> spread
>> areas.  I do not think you will have difficulty obtaining service.
>> However,
>> if there is no regular service that travels to an area, this is when you
>> will have a problem.  Uber or Lift or even a cab will be your best
>> option.
>>
>> We also have a private driver in Cleveland, name Wayne.  He is reliable
>> and
>> blind friendly.  He is a member of the Cuyahoga Chapter.  Wayne has
>> transported many NFB members from several Chapters throughout the state.
>>
>>
>> Finally we have a train service that runs around 15 minutes apart.  It is
>> called the Rapid.  The fee is the same as riding the local bus.  However,
>> I
>> am not sure what the fee is for persons with Disabilities.  It used to be
>> free.
>>
>> I hope this helps!

>> and neither it nor the phone interview were guaranteed, so I'm
>> cautiously optimistic.
>>
>> This internship will require me to travel around Cleveland in order to
>> visit all the locations I will be doing sessions at during the work

>> para-transit.  I also know there are Oober and Lyft options, and

>> kind enough to send me the schedule with locations I would visit
>> throughout the week if I'm selected for the internship as well so I
>> could troubleshoot and anticipate my transportation needs in advance
>> of the internship.
>>
>> I am hoping someone from the area who uses the various transportation
