partnership to help keep the community connected.<\/p>\nTwo Toledo institutions are proving the age-old adage of together everyone achieves more. Toledo Zoo and TARTA have entered into a new partnership to help keep the community connected.<\/p>\n
On Mondays, beginning July 13 and going through August 31, Toledo Zoo will contribute to covering TARTA services from the downtown TARTA hub to the Zoo\u2019s Main Entrance. Rides will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. each Monday.<\/p>\n
As of July 13, Toledo Zoo will restart Free Lucas County Admission on Mondays from 10 a.m. \u2013 noon with valid proof of residency. Zoo gate hours will be 10 a.m. \u2013 noon and the park will close at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best partnerships add value to all of the partners. By partnering with TARTA, the Zoo can now facilitate a safe, public transportation option for access to the Zoo on Mondays. It will be exciting to see how this partnership could grow in the future, said Toledo Zoo\u2019s president & CEO, Jeff Sailer.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we continue rebuilding TARTA from the inside out, community partnerships with both public and private organizations will be critical to the revitalization of a robust public transit system in our region. Our<\/p>\n
partnership with the Toledo Zoo is a prime example of TARTA\u2019s renewed commitment to excellence, a new business model and to providing the transportation that our region deserves,\u201d said TARTA General<\/p>\n
Manager, Kim Dunham.<\/p>\n
