We're the largest passenger rail and transit advocate in Ohio. Help us make a difference in the Midwest.

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.
