The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority has recently been navigating budget and service decisions that have put route frequency and safety under public scrutiny. RTA leaders discussed proposed reductions and public hearings this spring as part of efforts to balance the agency’s budget, according to Axios Cleveland.
