A Network Seeking #CompleteStreets, Access and Mobility for All Users, All Workers & Calling for a 21st Century Transportation System in the State of #Ohio
I joined an incredible @TransitColumbus meeting last night and was truly inspired to see so many people in a room ready to get to work now that the @LinkusColumbus funding is a reality. Kudos to my longtime friend @steviemoraa for facilitating. 🚌
IT'S OFFICIAL--WE RATIFIED OUR UNION CONTRACT!
After more than two years of negotiations, today we voted on our Union contract, which passed with a truly overwhelming majority of the vote: 96% to be exact!
thank you to everyone who helped issue 47 pass. we could not be more grateful to you all.
we’re taking today to rest and grieve with and for Ohio and the rest of the country. tomorrow, we’re getting back to work. there’s so much more to do.

When the @GCRTA HealthLine launched in 2008, it featured a proof-of-payment fare collection system that enabled all-door boarding. Here's a clip for former RTA CEO/GM Joe Calabrese explaining the benefits of this system: https://t.co/fTdwwMQrYB
