Ohio transportation advocates are celebrating as the federal government has identified four Ohio routes as “priorities for Amtrak expansion,” according to a release from U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration will provide $500,000 each to the four corridors, Brown announced Tuesday. Those funds come from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law; the corridors are also slated to “receive priority in future funding competitions,” according to Brown.
The four routes include two that pass through Central Ohio: the Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinnati-Dayton Corridor (3C+D) and the Midwest Connect (Chicago-Fort Wayne-Columbus-Pittsburgh), according to the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission.
