Last month, hundreds of people packed Antioch Baptist Church to ask that Cuyahoga County Council to take the lead on developing local solutions to our public transit funding crisis. This meant that Cuyahoga County Council agreed to work with Clevelanders for Public Transit to form a county wide stakeholders task force to advance the conversation on our public transit crisis.

In spite of these commitments to our work, we recently received word that Council President Dan Brady is no longer interested in pursuing the issue. All of this as RTA looks at an $18 million budget shortfall over the next two years. Will you join us at Cuyahoga County Council's August meeting to speak out and demand that Council follow through on their commitment to public transit?

Who: Clevelanders for Public Transit and community allies

What: August Cuyahoga County Council Meeting

When: Tuesday August 9th at 5 PM

Where: County Council Building, 4th Floor

2079 East Ninth Street, Cleveland, OH 44115
