Let's get more mass transit in Ohio

[Billy Mumphrey]

I would like to see more mass transit in the area. I would also like to see train service from Cleveland to Pittsburgh with Youngstown being the center hub.

One of the best ideas of the millennium.

LET'S TALK TRANSIT
Five Regional Stakeholder Meetings*

Join the Ohio Department of Transportation at one of five regional stakeholder meetings to help shape a long term strategy for the needs of Ohio's riders today and in the future.

Trends show there is a definite rise in the need for convenient, affordable public transportation to jobs, medical appointments, shopping and recreational activities. Our transit agencies are struggling to fund this existing service, let alone meet the increased demand. From light rail and bus service in large cities to rural van services, the Ohio Statewide Transit Needs Study has examined existing transit needs and drafted recommendations for better addressing them. We look forward to your input, comments and ideas!
