Greater Ohio Policy Center was pleased to attend yesterday's press conference where it was announced that Ohio would receive $400 million in federal stimulus funds to be used to fund the 3C Corridor “Quick Start” passenger rail system between Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati. Greater Ohio applauds the state for taking the steps necessary to capitalize on this unique opportunity offered by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to jump-start development of convenient and affordable rail service between core cities within our great state. This announcement marks real progress and marks a milestone in the effort to bring our state’s transportation system up to a world-class level.
