Greater Cleveland RTA is trying out microtransit program. The pilot Workforce Connector Program gives Solon employees without cars a more direct connection to work.

Connecting potential workers to employment opportunities in places that aren't near where they live has been a continual challenge for Northeast Ohio. The problem becomes even more frustrating when a portion of the distance — the last mile from a transit stop — is relatively short, but seemingly impassable. A new effort is afoot, though, to address that last-mile problem to get workers from Cleveland to a popular destination: Solon.
