Cleveland Launches New Trolleys in Anticipation of the Republican Convention
Joe Calabrese, left, chief executive officer and general manager/secretary-treasurer, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA), and Joe Marinucci, Downtown Cleveland Alliance president/CEO, welcomed the first of RTA’s newest 12 newest Downtown Trolley vehicles Jan. 21. The alliance is a key player in a public-private partnership; contributions from the private sector allow RTA to keep trolley rides “free with a smile.” The new 35-foot vehicles are five feet longer than those in the current fleet and can accommodate more customers. RTA is introducing the updated vehicles as Cleveland prepares to host the 2016 Republican National Convention, July 18-22. Trolleys now in use will celebrate their 10th anniversary in April and may be retired after the convention.
