Support Clean Air by Posting a Vehicle Anti-Idling Sign |
NOACA urges organizations and companies to help reduce air pollution created by idling motor vehicles. During 2011, NOACA staff distributed over 500 aluminum anti-idling signs to organizations throughout northeast Ohio. You can support clean air by requesting a free anti-idling sign for your workplace, to post by parking lots, loading docks, or anywhere vehicles needlessly idle their engines. Contact Brenda Walker to obtain a sign.

Transportation Advisory Committee to Consider Blue Line Light Rail Extension Alternative |
At its March 16 meeting, NOACA's Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) will consider endorsing a plan to extend the Greater Cleveland RTA's Blue Line light rail rapid transit service. In the Alternatives Analysis for the Blue Line, the project consultant recommended proceeding with a "baseline" build option that could be upgraded in the future. The baseline alternative includes a .3-mile Blue Line rail extension, a new Shaker Intermodal Transit Center, express bus service to University Circle, and Park-N-Ride lots at Northfield Road and Harvard Road. If the TAC also recommends the baseline option, it will be forwarded to the NOACA Governing Board for approval as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). Adoption of a LPA is necessary for the project to be considered for Federal Transit Administration New Start or Small Starts funding. RTA will give a presentation about the study at NOACA's March 9 Board meeting.
