The Cincinnati Transit Map is a project made possible by the community that uses it! It was originally funded through the donations of more than 120 people and organizations from libraries, lawyers, and locals to ex-cincinnatians living abroad and SORTA itself.

Fundraising has now finished for the second printing, with just over $1,200 raised to print 20,000 updated transit maps!

How you can help

If you'd like to help distribute maps, just send me an email and I'll be happy to get some to you or your organization!

I'd also like to encourage you to contact organizations who's websites have driving directions or street maps, and encourage them to include a link to this site. You'd be surprised how many such pages there are, and how few of them mention transit as an option even were it's actually a very good one. By reminding people that public transit can be a viable choice for many of their trips, you can help to slowly change people's opinions and get new people togive it a try. Below is a sample letter you can use when contacting an organization:

Dear xxxx,
I noticed that your website, www.example.com includes a page of maps and driving directions to your location. I'd like to incourage you to include a link to www.cincymap.org, www.tankbus.org, and www.go-metro.com. I think it's important for the people who visit your site to have access to information on local public transit services when planning their trips. The first website, www.cincymap.org, has a simple map of the region's transit systems that makes it easy for people to understand which lines go where, and how long they can expect to wait. Including a link to this page will let your visitors know that they might be able to save money, time, and hassle by taking one of the city's high-frequency transit lines to and from your location.
