3C is more than just trains!
The governoer elect states that 3C is dead on his watch. I thought he was for creating jobs in Ohio. Obviously he was not telling us the truth. The 3C project is about jobs creation for Ohio and Ohioans. It starts with infrastructure work and station building. It also includes work for safety between trains and cars at crossings. Yhe 3C project has a provision that states the winning biddr for rail car equipment build a factory here in Ohio. This means permanent jobs to build passenger cars for us and other states as well. Also, trains and stations need to be staffed; more permanent jobs. I wish to know what part of this Kasich is so aga? Why Is he against jobs creation? Or do these kinds of jobs not appeal to Wall Steeters? Ohio lags behind other states in the rail passenger field. Why? Because we have short-sighted politicains! Trains relieve the congestion on highways. They also are more fuel efficient means of moving people.
The railroad system would be an excellent idea for Ohio- creating efficient travel, less dependence on cars and fuels and creating much needed jobs in Ohio! What reason would anyone have against it!
All Ohio cities would prosper from a revamp of passenger rail through our state. We sit in a good position (between the east coast and Chicago). There would be many jobs created in Ohio as a result. But many of our elected officials pick a good thing apart until there is nothing left but ashes it seems. We could have been on a path to better rail here as we had one of the corridors to start up again (Three C). The dependence on cars, planes and saving fuel was a huge cost to pay.
I would love to see a high speed train in Ohio, I would travel Ohio more, and keep the money in our State. I think it would be a great economic stimulus for the state, as well as traveling to other states and cities. I think Kasich is missing the boat by not investing in the rail system. I think this would stimulate Cleveland’s economy, since it has been voted one of the worst states to live in. I can’t believe our govenor-elect is not willing to make Cleveland a better city to live in. It is a travesty, and in a couple of years, when all the other cities around us are way ahead of us with the railway, we will be wishing we would have started sooner.
After the announcement of Governor elect Kasich’s decision to refuse funding for passenger rail service in the state of Ohio, I am ready to help do what I can as a citizen to uphold the wishes of Ohioians reflected in the results of last Novembers election. Please let me know what I can do to help.
Thanks,

I support your organization and its position and goals. Let me know how I can help.
We cannot afford to miss out on this opportunity for Ohio. The jobs it would create are desperately needed. It would also be a great help for Cleveland Clinic patients such as myself to have another transportation alternative.
I’m a former RR employee with experience in legislative advocacy. I’d like to see this program continue and would like to help promote it.
Do you have a Facebook page? Thank you.

If we all make our feelings known to Columbus, and get everyone else to make their feelings known, we might be able to pull it off. We need a letter writing and phone call campaign to get this thing moving again. Not even Kasich can deny it if enough people want it.
All Aboard Ohio needs to get itself in the news more and have a stronger precense and those — as with Ms. Schulte — who ahve legislative experience or expertise in other ways need to use it to make things move.
The time for talking is over. We need to actually take action.
It’s great to see people looking for sensible solutions in Ohio. The car will always be around but it is my right to chose not to drive a car and if this state doesn’t see eye to eye with me then i’m out. To young to waste time waiting for this state to pick itself up if it doesn’t want help.
I agree with Josh. This could really be a sensible solution. I’m not a fan of road trips myself, but would probably travel the state a lot more if I didn’t have to drive to do it! And wouldn’t this not only create more jobs, but also increase tourism revenues as well?
This kind of idea is very beneficial to everybody living in OHio. Doing such creative initiative to promote the State for the better is a noble work.
I’d love to see the train but in this economy it has a snowballs chance in hell.
The current governor and legislature lack leadership. I think it is plain to see that the current network of highways is unsustainable. We need alternative transportation systems that do not rely on automobiles. Rail is the most efficient and effective mode of transportation between urban centers. Casinos are being built in all the major cities in Ohio. What wou;ld be the ridership fo people traveling from one citie to another to visit the various casinos? I am not a gambling person myself but I am sure it would be much more convenient and relaxing then driving; fighting innercity traffic and then finding a high priced parking spot. Wake up you antiquated elected legislators of Ohio! Get on board and offer us a viable alternative!
I am very passionate about this issue and would like to get as involved as possible. Please contact and let me know how I can help. Thanks
