Friends of Laketran

Friends of Laketran To get voters of Lake County to support Issue 2 on November 5, 2013 to sustain public transportation services in Lake County.

Friends of Laketran is committee that organizes and financially supports the sales tax levy campaigns necessary for funding Laketran’s critical transportation services.

In his honor, we encourage you to VOTE today.

"...the truth is that we should all aspire to embody Bill’s spirit — and be passionate advocates for our cities and communities, driven by an unwavering commitment to uplift and empower others...."

Framed in Bill Burges' office is a quote from "Star Wars," his favorite movie: “Do or do not. There is no try.” The gap left by his passing cannot easily be filled, so we won’t even try. But we will do what we can by continuing the fight for equity, justice, and opportunity for all Ohioans, wr...

We are saddened by the loss of longtime Friends of Laketran volunteer and former Laketran employee Conrad Galayda.

Conrad was the recipient of the 2020 Millie Waterman Spirit of Volunteerism Award for his longtime support of Friends of Laketran. He was a regular volunteer for the Friends of Laketran Golf Outing and Bowl-a-Thon. As well as the chair a successful 2019 Levy Campaign helping to secure Laketran’s future.

He was always the first to volunteer. Always going above and beyond, planning UAW events and fundraisers. When he drove, his riders loved him and he treated them like family.

Conrad, thank you for the impact you made on so many. You will be greatly missed! 💔
