Ohio cannot simply build its way out of congestion. We must fully embrace a multi-modal approach – with an integrated network of highway, rail, transit, aviation, and waterway.

It’s time we had a real conversation about investing in a transportation system that recognizes climate change, peak oil, and sustainable solutions.
