The Ohio Rail Summit brought together nearly 200 advocates, leaders, and community members for a day focused on one question: what comes next for passenger rail in Ohio? From big-picture vision to on-the-ground progress, the conversations throughout the day made one thing clear: momentum is building, and the path forward is taking shape.

Dive into the taxes and funds that make up the Buckeye State’s transportation budget. Plus, see side-by-side comparisons of where the money is (and isn’t) dedicated to passenger rail.

Learn about advance appropriations established for 2026 and the important funding dates for the future. To support the future of passenger rail efforts across Ohio and the nation, understanding the How, What and Why of passenger rail financing is crucial.
