The Mentor market specifically
Mentor is the largest city in Lake County, which has the highest share of residents 65 and older across this site's 7 counties. Transportation here runs through Laketran rather than Greater Cleveland RTA, a distinction worth knowing when planning visits or appointments.
Because Mentor and the rest of Lake County use Laketran rather than Cleveland's RTA, ask any community directly about transportation coordination with medical appointments in Cuyahoga County, since the two transit systems do not connect seamlessly.
