Description
Description | The 3C&D project is a proposed passenger rail route connecting Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati in Ohio. It aims to restore passenger rail service between Ohio's largest cities as a modern transportation connection. The project is part of a United States Department of Transportation program to identify and develop passenger railways. Phase 2, an early planning stage, is nearing completion, examining stations, train frequency, and rail upgrades needed. Federal funding covered 80% of Phase 2, with the state funding 20%. Additional state funds are needed to move forward, with a final decision expected in 2029 and travel starting in the early 2030s. |
