Veterans Day Update

         PARTA's administrative office will be closed to the public on Wednesday, November 11 in observance of the Veterans Day holiday. County fixed-route, Dial-A-Ride, and POGO bus service will operate as usual.

          U.S. military veterans may ride FREE on PARTA's fixed-route and Dial-A-Ride services on Veterans Day, in recognition of their service.  Veterans must show a valid ID verifying their status as a veteran when boarding to receive the ride free.

PARTA launches POGO

          Residents of Streetsboro and the industrial corridor of Aurora near Streetsboro now have a new, flexible way to get around town. PARTA has launched POGO (Portage County Go!), a new on-demand service, that started Monday, August 3. The shared-ride service operates Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., providing convenient transportation for work, shopping, medical appointments, school, and other local destinations.

          Unlike traditional transportation services that require riders to plan ahead, POGO offers same-day, on-demand service. Riders can request a trip when they need one and, in most cases, have a vehicle arrive within minutes.

          The cost is $10 per trip. Additional passengers traveling together between the same pickup and drop-off locations may be added to the reservation for $1 per person.

          Learn more about POGO Transit here, or call PARTA at 330-678-1287
