The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) is introducing 16 new passenger and environmentally friendly buses for use on the HealthLine bus rapid transit (BRT) system.

Additional technical features include a communication system with traffic lights along the route to reduce time stopped at intersections, interior and exterior cameras for rider safety and a turn warning system to alert surrounding pedestrians.
The value of this partnership is healthcare and public transit bringing innovation and technology to riders in collaboration of connecting the community.
