RTA's newest transit line serves one of the city's busiest routes, the Euclid Avenue Corridor. Completed in 2008, the HealthLine is a state of the art Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system that features dedicated lanes along Euclid and off-board fare collection, which dramatically increases the speed of a commute into and out of Downtown. The sleek 60-foot articulated buses run on a diesel-electric hybrid motor system that produce 90% less emissions than regular buses. Best of all, the HealthLine operates 24/7 and is very easy to catch. During rush hour, you can catch the HealthLine as frequently as every 5 minutes.

One of the most successful additions to RTA's system was the creation of the E-Line and B-Line trolleys that serve Downtown. These free trolleys routes provide downtown employees, residents and visitors a quick way to get to the most popular destination of the city. Two of the routes operate from 7:00am - 7:00pm Monday-Friday. Each line runs with a 10-minute service interval, so you're never far away from quick, easy, and FREE downtown transportation!

The center of the city is also serviced by 3 major rail lines and 1 special service rail line (the Waterfront Line) that carry people into and throughout Downtown. All rail lines meet at the main terminal at Tower City Center. From there it is merely a matter of minutes to anywhere in Downtown thanks to dozens of connecting bus routes, trolleys and the HealthLine. No matter what the traffic or the weather is like outside, your commute into Downtown will be a breeze. Even getting to the airport from Downtown is a breeze with the RTA's Red Line, which drops you off right inside the terminal (one of only a handful of cities in the country that provide direct rail access from the city to the airport).

The Red Line stretches from the east side of the city all the way to the west side and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Click here for map route (PDF) and schedule

Dozens of bus routes travel through Downtown everyday. In order to create a more efficient flow of bus routes into and out of Downtown, RTA created the new Stephanie Tubbs Jones Transit Center located at Prospect and E. 21st near CSU's Wolstein Center. The new center provides a safe and clean "airport-like" environment for RTA customers to wait for and to transfer between bus services. For a complete list of bus routes and schedules, click here.
