Lorain County Transit to Present Proposed Transportation Plan Updates
Lorain County, Ohio — Lorain County Transit (LCT) will host a public presentation outlining proposed updates to its fixed-route and dial-a-ride transportation services as part of the Lorain County Transportation Development Plan.
The meeting will provide residents with an opportunity to review the proposed recommendations and share feedback directly with transit officials.
The Transportation Development Plan includes recommendations designed to improve transit efficiency, reduce wait times, and expand access to destinations throughout Lorain County. Beginning in 2027, LCT would replace its current routes with:
• An hourly fixed route between Lorain and Elyria
• An hourly route serving Lorain County Community College
Future expansion plans could include additional service to:
• Chestnut Commons in Elyria
• Lorain High School/Cooper Foster Park Road
• Avon
• North Ridgeville
• Oberlin
Implementation of these future expansions would depend on securing additional funding support from local partners.
“The Transportation Development Plan provides a roadmap for making our public transit system more cost-efficient and convenient for riders,” said Karen Perkins, Deputy Administrator for the Lorain County Board of Commissioners. “The Plan contains changes to bus routes that will shorten wait times and extend service to new areas, while continuing ViaLC and Dial-A-Ride. Implementing the full plan would require additional revenue, and we are working with partner municipalities and organizations to explore options for funding support.”
The public presentation will take place:
Friday, May 22
1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Lorain County Transportation and Community Center
40 East Avenue, Elyria, Ohio
Parking is available off Cedar or Depot Streets.
The meeting will include a presentation followed by time for public questions and comments.
Residents may also review the proposed future route network online and submit feedback at: https://platform.remix.com/project/19f07302?latlng=41.40333,-82.07774,11.967
Public comments will be accepted through June 3. The Lorain County Board of Commissioners is expected to consider adoption of the Transportation Development Plan at its June 5 meeting.
