Open Houses Offer Opportunity to Review Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan
The Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) invites the public and other interested parties to attend open houses to review and comment on the draft Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan. The open houses will be held at its offices on the following dates:
- Wednesday, February 27, from noon to 2 p.m.
- Thursday, February 28, from 6 to 8 p.m.
The draft coordinated plan identifies strategies and priorities to improve transportation for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and people with low incomes. It was developed with input from the transit agencies in Northeast Ohio, human services agencies and people who use public transit through surveys, public meetings, focus groups, and a workshop.
“We encourage and welcome comments from the public on all of planning efforts,” says Howard R. Maier, NOACA executive director. “The recommendations in this plan and the decisions that are made based on it will affect Northeast Ohio, and the public should have input into them.”
Those who are unable to attend an open house but would like to review the plan and make comments can view it:
- Through NOACA’s Web site. Comments can be submitted online.
- At selected local libraries throughout the region.
- At NOACA’s offices at 1299 Superior Avenue in downtown Cleveland.
- At an open house at NOACA on Wednesday, February 27, from noon to 2 p.m., or on Thursday, February 28, from 6 to 8 p.m.
- At the main headquarters of the transit agencies in Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain and Medina counties.
Comments will be accepted through March 14, when the NOACA Governing Board is scheduled to vote whether to adopt it.
