A third leg needs to be added, and that third leg is rail passenger service. That was nearly double the next most popular response, at 27.9 percent, which is to expand or build more highways and roads. Meanwhile, the most popular solution to easing air travel congestion and delays at Ohio airports is to build alternatives such as high-speed rail. More than 40 percent felt that way. This flies in the face of a long-term plan to expand Cleveland Hopkins International Airport by bulldozing 1,500 homes in Brook Park and Berea, and demolishing the massive International Exposition Center.
People are tired of congestion and they want to use advanced passenger trains as the way out.
OARP is a nonprofit, educational organization founded in 1973 to advocate for service and safety improvements to intercity passenger rail and public transit services.
