It's the mind set that I don't need it,so their is no need.Many things in the valley that my taxes go to that I do not use,but others do.It' called quality of life.

Get the facts,outlying areas will get door to door service,no need to walk blocks or to go into youngstown. Everyone is not as lucky as your grandmother to have family left in the area,many have moved away for jobs.Disabled workers need rides to and from work,five days a week month after month.Try finding rides to and from your job day after day.
Trumbull and Columbiana county have rural transits supported by the County.There is a need,not everyone owns a car or can drive.Elderly disabled and young need rides to doctors work school,shopping etc.Since youngstowm already has bus service,the rest of the county has the most to gain.City resident has it right.I vote yes.To old man grump your name says it all.
Some depend on WRTA; everyone should support it
the letter to the editor makes a good case for a yes vote on issue 8.
