County-Wide Transportation

Connecting our communities to opportunity, healthcare, and daily life

Transportation is the foundation that ties everything together—jobs, healthcare, education, and economic growth. Right now, access is limited and inconsistent, especially outside the more populated areas.

What this means in practice:

  • A true county-wide transit backbone
    Expand and connect existing services so residents can reliably travel between Conneaut, Geneva, Jefferson, and surrounding areas—not just isolated routes.
  • Rural and southern county solutions
    Fixed routes don’t work everywhere. We need flexible options like dial-a-ride, microtransit, or on-demand services for less densely populated areas.
  • Workforce transportation
    Employers struggle when workers can’t get to job sites. Coordinating routes and schedules with major employers helps both businesses and employees succeed.
  • Medical transportation prioritization
    Missed appointments due to lack of transportation lead to worse health outcomes. Reliable transit to medical facilities must be a priority.
  • Phased, realistic implementation
    This isn’t an overnight fix. A 3–4 year plan allows us to build, test, and expand services responsibly while ensuring taxpayer dollars are used effectively.
