Seems like @GCRTA has enabled @EzFare smartcards a little earlier than advertised!

Ohio is refusing to participate in the Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Commission, which is a consortium of states working to get passenger rail in the Midwest, because it would cost $25,000 for the year. The state budget is $95 Billion.

The U.S. government doesn’t provide security screening for shopping malls Or football games Or theme parks Or rock concerts Why must the government be the security screener for U.S. airlines?

TSA isn't required to be the screener at airports. 21 airports have screening performed by various contractors.

They should definitely do this again today, and for the rest of the week!
To protest congestion pricing, Suburban drivers are driving into Manhattan and blocking traffic with their cars. These 🚗 extreme activists 🚙 plan to make streets so unsafe and gridlocked that NYC businesses lose money! 🚗🙃 Only car owners can shut NYC down and send a message!

I wonder how many bus operator candidates came to the @GCRTA job fair because of this message that is both difficult to read and also degraded the ability to see the route number/destination of the bus.
Happy holidays! Is anything wrong with this picture? 1/

What if instead we spent $2B on modernizing and extending the Red Line so people can actually rely on it to get to the airport (which is mostly fine as is)?
What should visitors experience first when they arrive in Cleveland? 🌆 As part of the $2B modernization of Hopkins Airport, we’re inviting Clevelanders to help shape how we showcase our city to the world. ✈️ Take the survey today: surveymonkey.com/r/L2BDVSQ

I feel like @goingplacesCLE is pretty much fine for a mid-market, non-hub airport? The recent bathroom renovations are a nice upgrade, but prioritizing massive investment in transit/@GCRTA would go further to help many more people.
We’re reimagining CLE Hopkins with a $2B vision—transforming our airport into a modern hub that reflects who we are and where we’re going. Cleveland deserves a gateway to the world. Share your ideas on how we re-imagine our airport. cleveland.com/travel/2024/12…

I’ve directed @PennDOTNews to immediately begin the process of transferring $153 million in federal highway money to @SEPTA. That funding will prevent service cuts, delay dramatic fare hikes until at least next July, and ensure the good people of southeastern Pennsylvania can rely on SEPTA to get where they need to go.
