TheOhioHub Planisa boldnew
vision forpassengerrail developmentby investingin a statewideand
regional networkof fast,frequentand
reliablepassengertrains whileincreasing
therailroadscapacity formoving morefreight
by rail.
AsOhioans facethepersonal costsof risingfuel
pricesand ourstatefaces critical challengesto
ourmobility andeconomy,the Ohio Hubwill link
passengerandfreight trainsto Ohioshighway,
aviation,transitand portfacilitiesto createa
seamless,multimodal transportation system that
will benefitour citizensandbusinesses.
Byadvancingapolicyofinvestinginourrail
system to achievepublic
benefitsandgenerate
economicdevelopment
activity,the Ohio Hub
breakswith thetraditional
modelsof how to create
andoperatepassenger
rail service.Such a new paradigm is necessary
if Ohio andthenation
areto effectively address
such issuesascreating
new optionsfor moving
both peopleandfreight,
growingthe economy,
creatingnew jobs,
conservingenergy and
improvingairquality.
To do this,wemust lookupon ourrailroadnetworkasan essential transportation
investment,justaswe
havedonehistorically
forhighways,aviation,
transit,waterways,
communications,water,
sewersandelectrical
powergrids. Thetimefor
such investmentisnow.

Hub: Cleveland-Columbus-
Dayton-Cincinnati Cleveland-Toledo-
Detroit/ Chicago Cleveland-Pittsburgh Cleveland-Erie-Buffalo-

Investingin Ohiosrail infrastructurewill help
strengthen ourstateas a premieregateway to
internationalmarketsand aNorth Americanhubfor thedistribution andlogistics industries.
Clearly,transportation planningand economicdevelopmentin Ohio mustgo hand-in-hand.
TheOhio HubPlan notonly recognizesthis,butactively promotesandadvances theseobjectives.
Itis timeto harnessour statesstrengthsandpartnerwith theprivaterailroadsto createa
regional rail hubthateffectively addressesour
critical mobility needsnow andinto Ohiosfuture.
