NEWS & UPDATES
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.
To learn more about POGO, call PARTA at 330-678-1287
Route 30 & 35 schedules updated
PARTA has made minor schedule adjustments to Routes 30 and 35 to improve the rider experience.
While the routes and bus stops remain the same, some layover times have been reduced or eliminated to shorten wait times and keep buses moving more efficiently. These changes are designed to provide a smoother, more convenient trip for passengers.
Updated schedules can be found on the Maps and Schedules page of this website. Riders are encouraged to review the updated schedules before traveling, as departure times at some stops may have changed.
In addition to being available on this website, the new schedules can also be accessed through the Passio GO app which provides real time tracking of PARTA buses.
Pardon our dust
On Monday, June 29 PARTA will begin a renovation project at its administration building located at 2000 Summit Road in Kent. The project is expected to take several months. During this time the public will have limited access to the facility. The main entrance will remain accessible during the initial phase of construction with access to PARTA's outer lobby only. The inner lobby, restrooms, and boardroom will not be accessible.
As a reminder, riders may purchase fixed route bus fare through the EZfare app. The app is free to download for both android and Apple smartphones. Riders who wish to purchase EZfare smartcards can do so at the Kent Central Gateway transit center in downtown Kent. Dial-A-Ride tickets can be purchased online, by phone (330.678.7745), or at any Huntington Bank branch in Portage County. If using cash to pay for fixed route or Dial-A-Ride service you must have exact fare, drivers cannot make change.
