PROPOSED ROUTES

Passenger rail isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about connecting communities, boosting local economies, and building a more resilient future. Ohio already has a few Amtrak routes in service, but the real momentum lies in the proposed corridors that could transform how we move across the state and beyond.
