CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-Community activists and union members will rally from 5:30pm-7pm on Monday, March 12, 2018 on Public Square in downtown Cleveland against slated cuts to the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) services that provide access to public transportation via buses, the Rapid Transit and other affilated transportation venues to thousands of greater Clevelanders and others, an event spearheaded by the Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucus, Clevelanders for Public Transit, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 268 and five other organizations.

The hikes to fares and cuts to services with frequency reductions on 15 service lines are to purportedly take effect March 11.

The groups set to rally on Monday are calling for the RTA board to rescind the measure to cut services and hike fares for riders, and for the board, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish to intervene and raise revenue to stop the cuts.

As to the RTA system at issue, a core part of Cleveland's infrastructure, activists and transit unions want policy makers and officials to "fix it, fund it and make it fair."

The theme of the event is "The Bus Stops Here."

Greater Cleveland RTA provides transportation services to over 150,000 people daily, many of whom are  Black, and many of whom are poor. 

According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, one-in-ten Americans (11%) say they take public transportation on a daily or weekly basis.
