The Lorain County Transit Round Table held on May 24, 2025, focused on the introduction of microtransit services in Lorain County, a first for the region. Commissioner Moore expressed enthusiasm for the initiative, acknowledging the inherent risks of implementing new transit solutions. He emphasized the importance of gathering data on community needs, such as where residents work and attend school, to ensure the system effectively serves its users.

The meeting highlighted the collaborative efforts between the city of Lorain and county commissioners, which led to the successful passage of legislation to support the microtransit project. With assistance from Pam Novak and her team, the group quickly prepared an application to the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACCA), securing approximately $2.8 million in funding. This financial support will enable Lorain County to reshape its transit landscape.

As the project progresses, the focus will remain on data collection to tailor the microtransit system to the community's specific needs. The initiative aims to create a responsive and efficient transportation option for residents, marking a significant step forward in local transit development.
