The state’s scheduling portal will only show the fairgrounds site if it has available appointments; individuals should check the portal frequently for available appointments.

COVID-19 Vaccine Transportation

Summit County Public Health, METRO RTA and Summit County Executive Ilene Shapiro are collaborating to provide multiple transportation options to COVID-19 vaccine appointments at any location, including the fairgrounds.

Free METRO Transportation 

METRO is providing free rides on all fixed route, demand response and Northcoast Express to COVID-19 vaccine appointments with proof of a same day appointment.

For appointments at the fairgrounds, the fixed route service will take riders to the transit center near Chapel Hill Mall, where a shuttle will then take them to the fairgrounds. Following the appointment, the shuttle will return riders back to the transit center near Chapel Hill Mall. METRO buses are a safe alternative to getting to appointments.

Every METRO bus has hand sanitizer available for riders and is cleaned regularly. Masks are required at all times and the number of riders per bus is limited.
