PARTA introduces trolley buses to their fleet for Summer 2022

- Annie Zwisler

Portage County residents will be driving in style Summer 2022 as PARTA introduces three trolley buses to its fleet. The trolleys will replace buses that are no longer in service and will bring a modern twist to the downtown Kent and Ravenna area.

The trolleys operate similar to any standard PARTA bus, but the windows can be detached for an open-air bus ride during the summer. The trolley routes will include a mix of county and campus, giving more people an opportunity to ride in a trolley.
