Geauga Transit Launches Wheels to Work Program
By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA com
Geauga County residents who have been depending on Geauga Transit buses for rides to work every day won’t have to schedule daily pickup anymore.
Through the new Wheels to Work program, daily bus routes connecting Middlefield and Chardon, and one along U.S. Route 422 will link non-driving residents to their jobs.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for W2W at the county transit yard on Merritt Road in Claridon Township launched the program Oct. 10 with a number of Geauga Transit employees, elected officials, balloons and the newest bus in attendance.
JoAnna Santilli, Geauga Transit director, told the audience the program is creating a stir among her customers.
“I have one gentleman who has been riding with us for approximately 30 years,” she said.
He has been making that phone call every day to ensure he has a way into work and he is only one of many who is delighted with the new system, Santilli said.
Geauga County Commissioner Jim Dvorak said soon after he became a commissioner six years ago, he met with Lake County representatives “over a cup of coffee” to discuss various ways the two counties could collaborate.
W2W is an example of the counties working together.
“Everything grows with collaboration,” he said.
The W2W program is receiving funding from the recently-created Ohio Department of Transportation Workforce Mobility program, according to a press release from Geauga Transit, which is partnering with Laketran through a fiveyear contract, said Ben Capelle, Laketran CEO.
“We’re going to focus on the Amish,” Capelle said during the
ceremony, adding the collaboration leading to the grant between the agencies and county commissioners started in 2021.
The W2W program will “get Geauga Transit to the next level and meet their customers’ needs,” he said.
Capelle said the $1.78 million infrastructure investment grant was created by a special set of funds from the governor’s office to operate the service and help buy up to nine new propane-fueled buses for the program.
Geauga Transit purchased the propane-fueled Terra Transit buses from TESCO Bus of Oregon, Ohio. The agency anticipates the buses will provide 35% fuel savings, according to the press release.
The W2W program has only been in operation a few weeks, but the number of people using the buses on the new collection routes has increased with an average of seven or eight riders in each of the buses, Capelle said.
Geauga Transit expects to hire four new employees as word gets around and demand for the service rises, he said.
The cost for a ride has not gone up and a regular rider can buy a pass to his or her workplace to
Geauga Transit Providing Free Rides to Vote
The Geauga Transit Vote & Ride program is giving Geauga County residents free public transportation to vote early or at polls on Election Day, Nov. 5.
“Transportation should never hinder anyone from exercising their right to vote,” said Laketran CEO Ben Capelle in a statement. “We are committed to ensuring that Geauga residents have the necessary access to participate in the election, whether that means getting to the polls on Nov. 5 or voting early.”
County residents can take the local regional transit service for free to their polling location on Nov. 5, or to the Geauga County Board of Elections, 470 Center St., building 6, in Chardon for early voting, GT said in a press release.
Early voting started Oct. 8 and continues until Nov. 3. Polling locations in Geauga County are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5. There is no in-person voting at the board of elections.
Geauga Transit provides door-to-door transit service throughout county and requires a reservation, which can be made as early as one week prior to your trip and as late as the same day, according to GT.
It is recommended to call as early as possible as reservations are made on a first-call, first-serve basis. To schedule a reservation, call Geauga Transit Dispatch at 440-754-5555.
For early voting times or to find your voting location, contact the board of elections at 440-279-2030 or visit www.boe.ohio.gov/geauga.
avoid paying for every pickup, he said.
“We want to get as many people to work as possible,” he said.
Another route in the Chester-Russell township area of northwest Geauga is under consideration, officials said.
Also present to congratulate Geauga Transit on its program were Ohio Sen. Sandra O’Brien, State Rep. Steve Demetriou and Katie Burger from the office of U.S. Congressman David Joyce. TESCO sponsored the event and a lunch for participants.

Faith Matters Your Life as a Manager
No, I am not thinking of the Guardians’ manager, Stephen Vogt, or the Browns’ manager, Kevin Stefanski. Those guys get well paid, but don’t have an easy job. Rather, I am referring to you and me, and our God-given responsibility to manage our individual lives.
“What’s the big deal?” you may ask… “To each his own” and “Do you own thing, baby.” In one sense, that is true. Every individual decides how to live and what to do. Each of us has our own choices to make. However, there is more to consider. What is that?
God made us. As our Creator, He rules and reigns over us, regardless of what we believe. You would be wise to check-in concerning His input. Someday you will stand before Him and give an account for your life.
the earth to live. The Bible says, “All the days ordained for me are written in your book, O God.” In other words, we have only so much time along with limited opportunities.
By Roger Kruse
Life is a trust. That is, you and I have been entrusted with gifts and graces that we must use wisely and fruitfully. God takes pleasure in giving us good things. “From His abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.” God is, indeed, good. However, there is a catch. He wants to see us use what He has given us in ways that will help others and further His kingdom.
When we talk about our managerial role, there are three major areas of responsibility: our time, our talent and our treasure.
The hourglass is emptying, slowly, but surely. We get a certain number of days upon

How we use our time matters. Is your life only about yourself or do you look for ways to help, serve and bless others? The Lord smiles when we give ourselves away in kindness to others. When we take time to serve the needs of others, we gladden the heart of God. Each of us has also been given certain talents and abilities. I am hopeless with numbers and math, but my wife loves keeping track of our bank account, expenditures and investments. She also pays all our bills. Anything financial, she is all over it. On the other hand, I have somewhat of a green thumb. I keep us well supplied with fruits, vegetables and flowers. She uses her gift to prepare taxes for others and I like to share the bounty of the harvest with friends and family.
What are you good at? Have you considered how to make that talent a means to helping and blessing others?
Finally, there is the matter of resources. Money is certainly part of that picture. However, whatever you appreciate and cherish has its origin in God. Every good gift in your life comes from Him. In the book of Malachi, the Lord exhorts His people to “bring the tithe and offerings into the storehouse.”
At least 10% of your income should be returned to the Giver. If you don’t have a local church, be on the lookout for human need and find charitable places to give. When we give, God multiplies our gifts and supplies what we need so that we can be even more generous.
Like it or not, you are a manager. God has trusted you with His blessings so that you can become a blessing to others. In fact, this is the very thing that will bring joy to your life.
Roger Kruse can still be selfish at times. However, he is learning to manage his life for God’s glory. His desire is to hear the words of the Master, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.
