To accomplish this mission...

​

• PARTA is driven to create a better tomorrow and community growth by enhancing public mobility opportunities.

• Our transportation services support the dignity of each person, and we serve with pride, striving to provide excellent customer service.

​

PARTA currently operates 15 fixed routes that service Akron, Brimfield, Cleveland, Franklin Township, Garrettsville, Hiram, Kent, Ravenna, Ravenna Twp., Rootstown, Stow, Streetsboro and Windham. Every day, PARTA provides trips to workers, seniors, individuals with disabilities, students, and others across Portage County who regularly rely on our transportation services. Routes run Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

​

Our Dial-A-Ride service is available countywide for those individuals who are unable to utilize our fixed route system. This shared-ride service is available Monday-Friday from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Outlying areas are provided service on certain days of the week depending on the township. It is a critical service for hundreds of people who have no other access to medical appointments and the like.

​

PARTA also operates transportation service at Kent State University. PARTA services are free to all KSU students (with the exception of the Akron and Cleveland Express Routes – available for just $1 or $5) both on and off the campus with your FLASHcard.

​

The Kent Central Gateway Transit Center and Parking Garage is also operated by PARTA. This multimodal facility allows residents to bike, park or transfer via bus to any of the great attractions here in Portage County.
