Transportation Alternatives

Some folks have been asking about alternate ways to get to the hotel from the airport or from downtown Cleveland. The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority operates a bus and light rail service. The light rail is called the Rapid Transit; from the airport take the Red Line (Windermere) to Tower City (24 minutes), then transfer to the Blue Line (Van Aken) for another 24-minute ride to the end of the line. Transfer to the #24 bus (Van Aken/Tri-C) for an 11-minute ride to the Cuyahoga Community College Eastern Campus, which is right across the street from the Marriott. The Rapid and bus are only $1.75 each. For schedules and other fare options, see: http://www.gcrta.org/

Safe travels!
