The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) will implement a change to the #251 Park-N-Ride Bus route on Monday, August 18, 2025. On that date the segment of RTA Bus Route #251 between Laurel Square in Medina County and the Strongsville Park-N-Ride will be discontinued.
Due to its limited benefits to Cuyahoga County residents the discontinuation of this route segment was to occur originally in 2010. However, public officials in Medina County decided to subsidize the service for one year, and that decision was renewed each year thereafter.
Unfortunately, due to a change in the census-defined boundary of the Cleveland Urbanized Area, the funding source that was used for the annual subsidy is no longer available to Medina County Transit.
The segment of RTA Route #251 between the Strongsville Park-N-Ride Lot and Downtown Cleveland will remain the same along with the number of trips per day. Also, Medina County Public Transit will continue offering micro-transit services throughout Medina and surrounding areas.
