Upcoming Campaigns & Awareness Initiatives

At NOACA, public involvement is essential to building a stronger, healthier, and more connected Northeast Ohio. Throughout the year, NOACA engages residents, community partners, businesses, and local leaders through regional awareness campaigns, outreach initiatives, and public education efforts that support transportation planning, environmental sustainability, air quality improvement, and active transportation.

This page highlights upcoming outreach campaigns, engagement opportunities, and public awareness initiatives designed to encourage community participation and showcase how regional planning impacts everyday life across Northeast Ohio.

NOACA Mural Dedication

NOACA proudly unveiled a new mural at its headquarters, celebrating the people, places, and connections that shape our region. The mural reflects our shared commitment to collaboration, mobility, and a vibrant future for Northeast Ohio.

Community partners, staff, and local leaders joined us for the dedication, marking a moment of reflection on where we’ve been—and inspiration for where we’re going. The artwork serves as a daily reminder that thoughtful planning and strong partnerships help move our region forward.
