Cleveland’s transit is about to get a major upgrade

Cleveland’s rapid transit is set for a huge transformation—out with the oldest fleet in the country, and in with brand-new trains by 2027. The Greater Cleveland RTA is rolling out a fresh strategic plan, aiming to boost ridership, modernize stations, and rethink how we use land around transit stops. Imagine more housing and shops popping up near your local station, making commutes easier and neighborhoods livelier. But with looming budget challenges, the pressure’s on for creative solutions and community input. What changes would make you ride more often? How should GCRTA use its land and resources? #Transportation #ClevelandTransit #PublicTransit

Dallas suburbs could leave DART—what’s next?

Four Dallas suburbs are seriously considering pulling out of DART, the region’s largest public transit system, and it could leave thousands stranded. For people who don’t drive or can’t afford a car, this isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a crisis. With Plano, Irving, Farmers Branch, and Highland Park threatening to withdraw, DART could lose major funding, just as Dallas is about to host the FIFA World Cup. Fewer buses and trains mean more traffic, more pollution, and fewer options for everyone. If you rely on public transit, how would this impact your daily life? Let’s talk about what this means for our community. #Transportation #Dallas #PublicTransit
