ORDC Cordially Invites You
to:
Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinnati The 3-C High Speed Rail Workshop
Tuesday, July 7th, 12:30 - 4:30 P.M.

Convenient, comfortable and reliable passenger rail service
between Ohio's
cities and towns is no longer a distant fantasy. The Ohio Rail
Development
Commission (ORDC) and the Ohio Department of Transportation,
along with
Amtrak, are currently working to introduce start-up passenger rail
service
in Ohio's Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinnati (3C) corridor.
This
service (at up to 79 mph) is a first step in implementing the
longer-term
vision for a network of high speed trains operating at 110 mph
on routes
serving other Ohio destinations, the Midwest and the Nation.
Where
should the trains go? Where should they stop? How should passengers
get to
and from the trains and local destinations? What are the best
opportunities
to move people, create jobs, stimulate the economy and serve
our core
communities? What are the benefits of such an investment? What are
the issues
of concern and potential opportunities?
The Ohio Rail Development
Commission will answer these questions only after
first hearing from you: the
local officials and business leaders from the
numerous communities located
along the 30-plus different route alternatives
between Ohio's three largest
cities.
Please join ORDC on Tuesday, July 7th
and let us know what you think about:
* The proposed high speed
passenger rail vision for Ohio.
* Your community's desired outcomes, ideas
and concerns
* Lessons learned from intercity passenger rail in other states
and
communities, both rural and urban.
Your feedback is needed to
help guide the ORDC as it examines high speed
rail alternatives. It is
important that your community and your organization
send representatives to
learn more about this initiative so that your area
can be part of this early
planning opportunity.
Please RSVP via e-mail to: HSR.planning@dot.state.oh.us
