Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish has finally appointed a regular transit rider to the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's Board of Trustees. This week, the county's HR and appointments committee officially confirmed Roberta Duarte, downtown resident and project manager at JumpStart, as the RTA's newest board member. She replaces outgoing member Justin Bibb, currently a candidate for Cleveland Mayor.
Duarte, a native of Paraguay, serves as the Vice President of Cleveland's Young Latino network. She has described herself as an "avid" user of public transit.
