WYTV Morning Show Broadcasts Live on One of Our Initial Warren Routes
WYTV’s Daybreak Nation for Monday, March 2 featured four interview segments with reporter Christina Mullen and WRTA Executive Director Dean Harris. The interviews took place at the WRTA offices on Mahoning Ave. in Youngstown, and also on-board the bus that left the WRTA yard on Mahoning Avenue in Youngstown bound for the new junction point at High St and N. Park Ave in downtown Warren.
The two then rode together on the very first run of WRTA’s #74-Elm Rd. route for their final segment. You can see three of those morning show segments at this link.
In Celebration of Our New Warren Service — Free Rides on ALL Fixed Routes Mar. 2-7!
To mark the beginning of our new bus service in Warren, WRTA will offer free rides system-wide on all of its fixed route buses in Mahoning and Trumbull County for an entire week — Monday, March 2 through Saturday, March 7.
Rides will be free on the six new Monday–Friday fixed routes in Warren that begin operation Monday morning at 6:30; the newly expanded Warren Express route than connects Warren with Federal Station in downtown Youngstown; and all daytime and Nightline fixed routes that operate in Mahoning County. (WRTA Countywide and ADA All-Access buses are not included in this offer.)
“We’re very excited about bringing WRTA bus service to Warren,” said Dean J. Harris, Executive Director of WRTA. “This will be a tremendous benefit to Warren residents who need to go shopping, get to medical appointments or visit friends.
“We welcome brand new riders to WRTA and encourage them to try us out for free,” Harris said. “And we’re also happy to reward our loyal riders throughout the system with free rides for a week.”

A Valentine’s Day Gift: Free Rides on All Fixed-Route Buses February 14!
Bus riders in the Mahoning Valley will enjoy a Valentine’s Day gift: free rides on all Western Reserve Transit Authority (WRTA) fixed route buses on Friday, February 14.
WRTA, along with many other Ohio transit systems, is participating in “Ohio Loves Transit Day,” an annual event sponsored by the Ohio Public Transit Association (OPTA).
“Ohio Loves Transit Day gives us the opportunity to thank WRTA riders for their loyalty, and also to welcome new riders who may not have used WRTA previously,” said Executive Director Dean Harris.
Depending on the route, WRTA’s fixed route buses will operate from as early as 5:10 am to 7:00 pm on Ohio Loves Transit Day, while Nightline routes will run as late as midnight. All rides on each of these fixed routes will be free on February 14. (WRTA’s Countywide and ADA-All Access buses are not a part of this free promotion.)

Martin Luther King Jr. Day – Monday, January 20th
WRTA would like to wish you and your family a very safe and happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Please remember that WRTA will be open and will operate a regular Monday schedule on the holiday.
Expanded WRTA Service Coming to Warren on Monday, March 2!
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has announced a grant that will enable the Western Reserve Transit Authority (WRTA) to begin Fixed Route bus service in Trumbull County on March 2, 2020, with up to six routes serving the greater Warren area. The grant also provides funding for several other WRTA initiatives in both Mahoning and Trumbull Counties.
WRTA already operates the Warren Express route, which runs from Federal Station in downtown Youngstown to Courthouse Square in Warren. This route is being expanded and now will serve the Kent State University Trumbull branch as well.
The new Warren Fixed Route buses would all be accessible to riders traveling the Warren Express route, so there will be a seamless connection between them. Fares for the Fixed Route buses in Warren will be the same as other WRTA routes.
Maps and schedule information for the new Warren routes will be posted on the WRTA website soon.
