Non-free / fair use media rationale for Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority
Description	Metro System Map
Source	Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority official website
Article	Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority
Portion used	Entire map.
Low resolution?	Higher than the 300-pixel-wide rule of thumb; however, key information features on the map would be indiscernible at a smaller size.
Purpose of use	The map is being used at the article "Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority" to clearly indicate the localities that Metro serves in the Greater Cincinnati area; thus, it adds significantly to the readers' understanding of the subject matter.
Replaceable?	A replacement would come in the form of a freely-licensed map with route data superimposed. If the route data were to come directly from route descriptions on SORTA's website, there may still be copyright restrictions. A purely free-content replacement would use route data collected by traveling through the Cincinnati area and noting the Metro stop signs (or red-striped utility poles), quite a resource-intensive process.
