Earlier this month, All Aboard Ohio released an economic impact study of the expansion of passenger rail service between Ohio’s four largest metro areas that will contribute $106 million to $107 million to gross state product, according to a news release.
After the initial investment, the corridor will continue to contribute $25 million to $47 million to gross state product per year from the economic impact of ridership, the release said.
The publication comes on the heels of the Federal Railroad Administration announcement of the award of four planning grants to advance the revival and expansion of intercity passenger rail service in Ohio, according to the release.
