LET'S TALK TRANSIT - Five Regional Stakeholder Meetings

Join the Ohio Department of Transportation at one of five regional stakeholder meetings to help shape a long-term strategy for the needs of Ohio's riders today and in the future.

Trends show there is a definite rise in the need for convenient, affordable public transportation to jobs, medical appointments, shopping and recreational activities.

Ohio’s transit agencies are struggling to fund this existing service, let alone meet the increased demand. From light rail and bus service in large cities to rural van services, the Ohio Statewide Transit Needs Study has examined existing transit needs and drafted recommendations for better addressing them. We look forward to your input, comments and ideas!

The meetings are open to the public. If you are unable to attend, all meeting materials will be available online starting Oct. 21 at www.TransitNeedsStudy.ohio.gov. You can also submit comments to Transit.Needs@dot.state.oh.us through Nov. 14.
