Commuter Express Routes
Laketran's Commuter Express service gets you from Lake County to downtown Cleveland economically, safely and on-time. Laketran offers five commuter routes to choose from between Madison and Wickliffe.
Laketran Park-n-Ride lots are located in Madison, Mentor, Wickliffe and Eastlake. Commuters may also Park-n-Ride from Lakeland Community College and the Shops of Willoughby Hills.
Commuters park free in any of Laketran's well-lit Park-n-Ride lots. Enclosed bike lockers are available at the Wickliffe, Mentor and Madison Park-n-Ride lots. You must provide your own lock. Bicycles may not be carried on the commuter buses.
Transit Benefits are one of the fastest growing across the country. They are also tax deductible under IRS code when provided as a benefit by your employer. For more information, see our Transit Benefits Brochure.
