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: 

• Virtual meeting, Monday, August 19, 5-6 p.m., Register at tarta.com/publicmeetings 
• In-person meeting, Tuesday, August 20, 6-7 p.m., Toledo Lucas County Public Library, Kent Branch, 3101 Collingwood Blvd., Toledo
