Public Meetings

TARTA is dedicated to an open dialogue with customers and the community on any planned upcoming service changes. The public has a chance to weigh in on every proposed adjustment to schedules, routes, or fare structure through public meetings, both virtual and in-person.

TARTA Seeks Feedback On Upcoming Fare System Upgrade

The Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) has scheduled a series of public events to collect community feedback on the planned rollout of an account-based ticketing system. If approved by TARTA’s Board of Trustees, this fare-capping system will allow customers to get the value of extended passes without paying the upfront fee. For card-holders, the day cap would be $3, the 7-day cap will be $15, and the 31-day cap will be $45.

These events will include two in-person forums and two virtual feedback sessions. These forums will focus on the Title VI equity analyses surrounding the service changes. A virtual session will be recorded and posted on the TARTA website. Public meetings are scheduled for:
