The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has awarded $16 million in grant funds to the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) as part of the All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP) created in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021.
The grant will be used to rehabilitate eight stations along the light-rail Blue Line to make the entire line accessible for people with disabilities, according to a GCRTA news release.
Station upgrades will include replacing the 40-year-old platforms with new concrete platforms with tactile warning panels, installing redesigned ramps, elevating a platform section to access trains, and improving parking stalls with curb ramps to access the stations.
