Public participation invited for Ohio Rail Plan Survey
The Ohio Rail Development Commission is inviting stakeholders to participate in an update to the State of Ohio Rail Plan. The Ohio Rail Plan is required to be updated every four years to remain competitive for federal grant opportunities.
Beginning today, an online survey is available for the public to provide their thoughts on the current state of the rail network in Ohio, the importance of the rail network to them, and any concerns they may have as well as priorities they would like to see the State of Ohio pursue.
The survey can be found at: https://metroquestsurvey.com/isd72
“The Ohio Rail Plan is an important document for us. It is a way to hear from all parties in Ohio: businesses, communities, railroads, and the public, on what the rail network in the state means for them. We look forward to receiving this input,” said Matthew Dietrich, Executive Director, Ohio Rail Development Commission.
The latest Ohio Rail Plan was published in 2019 and can be found here: rail.ohio.gov/staterailplan
