Bibb apoints two transit riders to RTA board
After years of advocacy from transit boosters imploring local officials to put transit riders on the RTA board, Cleveland mayor Justin Bibb has done just that.
Bibb, a former GCRTA board member himself, said in a press release Thursday that he was grateful for service of Valarie McCall and Luz Pellot, the two members Mersmann and Sleasman will soon be replacing.“I send my gratitude to both Valarie and Luz for their dedicated work on the GCRTA Board of Trustees,”.
Martin hopes that having a CPT supporter with the ability to influence RTA policy could reverse what Martin calls the transit death spiral., which Martin said is long overdue for a levy. Mersmann, who served four years as the city's bicycle and pedestrian coordinator, will bring a wide-range of experience with people-focused policies to RTA's board.
