For #TransitEquityDay, we released a report with @LN4S called Working Families Ride the Bus. #Union members and workers from all over the country shared their experiences with the ways that transit—or lack or transit options—affects everything (1/)

these protections are critical to ensuring that the tragedy that occurred in East Palestine, Ohio, doesn’t happen again. that community is still feeling the effects of the derailment today.

On the two year anniversary of the tragic East Palestine derailment, the Ohio State Legislative Board of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen reflects on the action of our elected officials. Thank you to our leaders for taking action to make Ohio safer.

we were excited to see that the summit and fourth street lanes were cleared as well! it seems that the east bound lane on Broad was cleared, but not the west bound lane for some reason.

Thread of things we learned from COTA’s Community Advisory Board meeting: COTA has changed its weather policy: during Level 2 snow emergencies, fares will be free. During extremely hot weather (exact temp at which that takes effect TBD) they will be doing free fares as well

Not new info, but: COTA’s student pass program is $13 per student per semester for CCS, which the schools pay for. In the summer, there’s a student pass that any student from any school (even non traditional) can purchase and use. It’s $62 and Works from May 15-September 15.

The CAB meets quarterly, but if you have any questions about COTA’s policies/services (especially if you haven’t been able to get an answer from COTA directly), let us know and we can still get answers between meetings.
