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 SERVICE CHANGES
The Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) has scheduled a series of public events to collect community feedback on upcoming proposed major service changes. Proposed changes, which would go into effect in January of 2024 if approved by TARTA’s Board of Trustees, include:
The extension of Route 2 to Walmart in Oregon via Downtown Toledo

Removal of Route 51
These events will include two in-person forums and one virtual feedback session. These forums will focus on the Title VI equity analyses surrounding the service changes. Public meetings are scheduled for:
In-person meeting, Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2023, 12-1 p.m., Lucas County Shared Services building, 3737 W. Sylvania Avenue, Toledo (accessible by TARTA routes 3 and 19)
