  • Ohio Passenger Rail Assessment of Needs - 1
    Ohio Passenger Rail Assessment of Needs - 1 Ohio Passenger Rail Assessment of Needs February 2017 A White Paper of Ohio Passenger Rail Assessment of Needs - 2 BACKGROUND Passenger rail service continues to be a growth industry in much of the world, including in the United States. Amtrak now covers 94 percent of its costs through revenues and the railroad broke another ridership record in Fiscal Year 2016.1 Amtrak ridership has grown 50 percent since 2000.2 One look at the first section of this report that summarizes our neighbors' stunning progress should prove sobering in light of Ohio's relative inaction. Ohioans deserve better. Ohio is the nation's seventh-most populous state3 and its population density (Ohio, 284 persons per square mile)4 ranks with France (295 persons per square mile)5. France, of course, is home to an extensive passenger rail system a small portion of which includes the high-speed TGV network. Yet Ohio's travel options are very limited, slow and expensive even by U.S. standards. All Aboard Ohio, a statewide nonprofit association of more than 500 citizens and business founded in 1973, is committed to encouraging improvements to passenger rail and public transportation in and through the state of Ohio. Thus, we prepared this report to familiarize Ohio Gov. John Kasich and the Ohio General Assembly with the following contents: • Rail Neighbors: Ohio's neighbor states and Ontario have undertaken or are pursuing many millions if not billions of dollars worth of improvements to their passenger rail networks. • Ohio's Immediate Rail Needs: We took inventory of passenger rail projects being pursued in Ohio that could see construction as a result of funding from the Ohio Department of Transportation's (ODOT) next budget.
