"We want to thank PARTA for going above and beyond to meet the needs of our clients.
When one of our clients was unable to ride the bus home because he had a problem with
his oxygen supply, PARTA staff arranged for a vehicle to make a special trip to take him home.
We wish to express our appreciation for your assistance and support in this emergency
and for the outstanding support you provide to us and our clients in general."

"PARTA is more than a ride to work for me. PARTA has enriched my life by helping me get where I
need to go. Back in June, I received a letter stating that I may lose PARTA services because of
cuts in funding, if they aren't able to pass a sales tax. Without PARTA, I would not be able to keep
my job. So you see, PARTA means a lot to me."

"In the last 5 years, it has been necessary for me to get a ride to and from work during the
week. PARTA has been there for me.
Without PARTA, people that depend on the service to get to
work would not be able to get around. I don't have a lot of people that can give me a ride to work everyday -
especially in the morning - since they have their own jobs to get to, so I'm glad PARTA is here
to give me the rides I need to and from work."

"I certainly appreciated PARTA's ability to take my husband to dialysis three times a week.
The drivers were always courteous, nice, and pleasant. PARTA is a lifesaver. I don't drive at
night. It is a wonderful, wonderful type of transportation."

"I have really enjoyed riding the PARTA bus. The drivers really know how to make someone
feel safe and comfortable while riding.
I rally enjoy the fact that they speak to everyone
the same friendly way - whether your 2 years old or 80 - and they are always helpful and
friendly."Jennifer Nichols

"I don't know what Portage County would do without PARTA. There are many people who couldn't
get around if PARTA didn't exist. When my optomologist moved to a different area of the county,
I thought I would have to change doctors, but he told me that PARTA could bring me to his office.
When I needed therapy for an injury, PARTA took me to the doctor's appointments. The drivers
are wonderful and considerate - they even helped me to the door of my house."
