The first winners of the Paradox Prize are helping to bridge the transportation gap for Northeast Ohio workers. Three ideas were chosen for funding from 53 entries. Ideas include using idle church vans to get Cleveland workers to suburban jobs, a door-to-door service for employees in Akron, and ride sharing to bring workers to job hubs in Painesville and Mentor.
