Numbers are out. Amtrak employs 51 Ohioans and spends millions in the state. And these numbers would grow a lot with new proposed routes. www.allaboardohio.org/posts/the-ec...

Ohio could have an incredible intercity bus AND rail network. But the key is that it should be both. Buses are an important part of the puzzle getting Ohioans to hubs and trains provide the capacity to move large amounts of people from city to city. Let’s do both!
Credit to @allaboardohio.org for providing an overlap of the proposed passenger rail routes and all nine of the GoBus routes.

77% of federal funding for public transit flows to private businesses– including companies like Stadler.

Ohio’s rail network is such a huge opportunity that it deserves funding much like the interstate highway system. These are investments we make in our nation for the economy, quality of life, and benefit of people everywhere. Story on Streetsblog: usa.streetsblog.org/2025/08/01/o...
Opinion: Ohio is the Poster Child for Why We Need a Stronger Federal Approach to Passenger Rail — Streetsblog USA
Ohio's reluctance to build new passenger rail has made them a bottleneck in the national network, and an emblem of bigger national problem.

No one ever suggests decommissioning roads to save money 👏
