Trains are the answer

The momentum is coming back in Ohio for rail with public surveys showing 75+% and politicians warming up to the idea once more. Join our supporter list at allaboardohio.org!

All Aboard Ohio hosted a tour of Columbus’ future convention center train station! @colsunderground.bsky.social was there and wrote a great summary of the event! columbusunderground.com/convention-c...

And @allaboardohio.org !!!!

How do we make Amtrak succeed and where did it even come from? Not to mention how about Ohio. We’re in this video from one of our favorite YouTubers so check it out: youtu.be/784ZfG4LS04?...

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!

It’s a Saturday. I’m going to grab some coffee and read about Cincinnati’s Union Terminal history: www.allaboardohio.org/posts/cincin...

Ohio Rail Plan Update: funding is in motion for multiple freight projects and Ohio’s Rail Development Commission wants to set the record straight that they are moving forward on passenger rail: ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/10/01/o...

We chatted with Axios about how the State of Ohio is omitting planning for passenger rail despite their own studies showing nearly 80% of Ohioans support it. Read about it here: www.axios.com/local/columb...

After 7 months of waiting Massachusetts has been awarded 3.5 Million for the next step in delivering expanded Amtrak service across the state. We’ve been monitoring this for some time. Take a read: www.allaboardohio.org/posts/federa...

77% of federal funding for public transit flows to private businesses– including companies like Stadler. With the support of @usdot.bsky.social funding, Stadler will supply 80 new CityLink cars for @rideuta.bsky.social’s TRAX light rail system – generating new jobs & opportunity for the community. 🧵

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...

No one ever suggests decommissioning roads to save money 👏

Cincinnati’s iconic yearly community bike ride will pass on miles of former railroads. In fact it’s Cincinnati’s largest bike event. We broke down some of the rail history and mapped the route - take a look: www.allaboardohio.org/posts/from-r...

SEPTA riders are not the only ones who could be punished if funding is not found

It finally happened! After nearly two decades, the first train heading east from New Orleans to Mobile has left the station - and your Association was there to help celebrate. youtu.be/3J0zASgpKAc?...

@railpassengers.org gives a fantastic take on just how impactful Amtrak’s New Orleans route will be and why we can’t keep going as slow as we have been to make new passenger rail happen: youtu.be/3J0zASgpKAc?...

Communities are innovating to overcome transportation barriers and funding caps. It’s reshaping mobility faster than anyone seems to be noticing: www.allaboardohio.org/posts/opinio...

US national rail network, 1861. The Midwest was built on rail @allaboardohio.org

We sent an entire team of rail advocates to Chicago to meet with our neighboring nonprofits. Hear about the day in this recap www.allaboardohio.org/posts/how-ra...

Had a great time welcoming @allaboardohio.org to Chicago with @railpassengers.org @hsrail.bsky.social @elpcenter.bsky.social We got to explore passenger rail & transit stations old & new, plus bike/walk infra & water taxi!

Keep up the good work All Aboard Ohio!

We’re on our race to Chicago to learn about good rail and transit policy and infrastructure. Why’s that so important for Ohio? @railpassengers.org www.allaboardohio.org/posts/racing...

We’re learning from all our favorite rail advocacy groups today in Chicago on our friendly “Race to Chicago” trip. Currently at Environmental Law and Policy Center. Where to next? @railpassengers.org

Did you know we have a bleeping book club? It’s for transit nerds and train lovers who really do believe. ❤️ Come join us for our next book starting August 15th at AllAboardOhio.org/bookclub

Marilyn moved to Ohio when the state announced it was going to begin work on passenger rail a decade ago. As her and her husband got older the state felt like a great choice to stay mobile. Then it never happened. She calls it a bait and switch. Read her letter: www.allaboardohio.org/posts/scrapp...

Amtrak Airo is here! We ask the question - is Amtrak’s “Solve All” train right for every route? Plans for state supported routes like Ohio’s might benefit from designs that are proven in Europe. Read: www.allaboardohio.org/posts/a-tale...

Ohio State Rail Plan slated to be released THURSDAY at 11:00AM! Please tune in and demonstrate how important passenger rail is to Ohioans! RSVP: rail.ohio.gov/about-ordc/c...

The California High Speed Rail Project has already generated nearly $2 in benefits for every $1 invested - without a single train in service. So why does the current administration want to kill it so badly? Fore more: railpassengers.org/happening-no...

Help us define our next year of advocacy. Our annual survey takes 7 minutes to fill out and makes a big difference. allaboardohio.org/survey?utm_source=bluesky

The USA threw it away, but that doesn't mean we're not getting it back. @allaboardohio.org and many other orgs are pushing for continued funding for the 3C+D line to reconnect Columbus, and for other routes. Here's how to help: www.allaboardohio.org/advocacy

Will the Ohio Senate listen to Ohioans on Passenger Rail? We summed up everything that happened: www.allaboardohio.org/posts/will-t...

Some Ohio Senators seem determined to block passenger rail any chance they get, what is this? - www.wcpo.com/news/state/s...

The Cleveland metro population hasn’t increased in 50 years, yet the area of developed land has nearly doubled. Our cities were hollowed out, and now we need twice the infrastructure to serve the same number of people.

The Midwest needs all the momentum it can get to continue building support for transit. It would be great to see Ohioans unite to reject this bullshit, the 3C&D is a no brainer to support. If you have a moment, submit feedback through @allaboardohio.org! www.allaboardohio.org/amtrak-rail-...

75% of Ohioans support passenger rail based on an Ohio government study! Instead Ohio Legislators are gutting passenger rail!

We need your help!

Ohio legislators gutted passenger rail in Ohio with planning for rail being cut. WE NEED TO PUSH BACK columbusunderground.com/ohio-senate-...

the ohio statehouse is once again trying to kill passenger rail in the budget. take 2 minutes this morning to call/email your state senator. text a few of your friends and family (esp those outside of cities) to do the same. @allaboardohio.org put together an advocacy kit to make it easy for you:

The final Ohio budget is locking in ❌ MIPRC funding — GONE ❌ Passenger rail voice on ORDC — GONE Ohio’s rail future is being written without us Tell your Senator: Restore funding & Reinstate the seat Act now: www.allaboardohio.org/advocacy
