July 1: RTA and SARTA honor each other's fares

Jun 28, 2013

CLEVELAND - Effective July 1, 2013, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) and the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) begin a six-month pilot project to allow riders to transfer easily from one system to another.

To facilitate travel between Stark and Cuyahoga counties, riders may transfer from one system to the other at any Downtown Cleveland stop and at the Wade Park VA facility.

Riders note:

  1. You must always pay the fare on the first system you board. A transfer is only valid for one ride on the adjoining system.
  2. Traveling from Stark County, ask your SARTA driver for a transfer to RTA.
  3. Traveling into Stark County, ask your RTA driver for a non-valid fare receipt that serves as a transfer.

For more information, call the RTAnswerline, 216-621-9500.
