OARP exists to:

 

• Advocate for the establishment, improvement, and maintenance of a transportation system that:

  • serves all Ohio residents, including low- and moderate-income residents with limited access to personal transportation, business travelers, and tourists,

  • helps low- and moderate-income residents access employment opportunities,

  • revitalizes and stabilizes underserved and/or distressed nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies,

  • connects Ohio’s communities, residents, and businesses.

• Focus public awareness on the need to improve efficient intercity passenger rail and local public transit in Ohio.

• Support objective, nonpartisan research and provide the results of that research to civic, public sector, and private sector leaders.

• Educate the public about the use, benefits, and investments required to improve safe and efficient passenger ground transportation.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement

 

"All Aboard Ohio recognizes access to safe and equitable transportation as a fundamental civil right.

​

Transportation systems can unite or divide communities. Infrastructure decisions in the mid-twentieth century, known to be rooted in prejudice, continue to inform too many transportation planning and funding decisions today. 

​

AAO advocates for safe, affordable, and efficient transportation policies that address structural injustices of disparate access to economic opportunities, housing, and services. We commit to building a diverse coalition of Ohioans, working together for sustainable and equitable transportation that we can be proud of for generations to come.”
