The Survey

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has launched their 2024

Transportation Preference Survey. 


The survey focuses on the ways we all choose to get around Ohio. Whether it is biking, driving, taking transit, or walking. Giving feedback on how you get around will help shape ODOT’s planning and priorities for Ohioans. 


Historically, DOT’s are very car centric in the United States, favoring things like highway expansions over more passenger rail and buses. Because of this, it’s hard to make progress on transportation initiatives as our goals won’t be very high up on ODOT’s list. Not unless we make it a priority. 


Our Take

When we take the survey, we plan to share that the need for robust passenger rail, improved public transportation, and connectivity to walking and biking infrastructure is extremely important to Ohio’s transportation future. If we come together to show ODOT why these priorities matter in this survey, we can all be part of making a meaningful impact on creating a better state.

Our Mission

We advocate for better transit and passenger rail throughout the Midwest. Your support helps us.

The Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Commission (MIPRC) has secured a $1.84 million federal CRISI grant to launch Invest Midwest, a comprehensive passenger rail planning initiative. However, Ohio remains excluded from this regional network development after state legislators removed a $25,000 membership appropriation from the 2026-2027 budget, leaving the state without a seat at the table as neighboring states map out the future of Midwest transit.
