Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing the event information - we do ask that anytime someone promotes an event/service that they identify their involvement. Thanks!

Ok, thanks for letting me know!  I am new to reading and posting here, but my friends talk about it all the time.  I am a recently graduated MUPPD student from CSU's program and I volunteer for certain architecture and planning type organizations or events in hopes of making Cleveland a better city and educating the public.  I help set up You Are Cleveland events, and this one is about transportation which I thought many of the people that post here would be interested in.

Sounds great - thanks for the information and your efforts and welcome to UrbanOhio!

Any info from the meeting?  Also, any pictures of the map ... "Plus, see a 3'x4' detailed map of a rapid rail system that would connect all of Northeast Ohio and uses existing rail lines and right-of-ways to do it." very interested to see this map.

I don't see any attribution on the image, presumably from RTA.

It's not an RTA graphic. Someone just put GCRTA's logo on it. The only planning effort that looked at these existing rail corridors for commuter rail was sponsored by NOACA -- not RTA.

NOACA is on the move for infrastructure aid

Agency is seeking local help as it makes state and federal push

May 17, 2015 UPDATED A DAY AGO

By JAY MILLER

 

Greater Cleveland's transportation and infrastructure planning organization is reaching out to the business community for help in setting its agenda and for support in pressing that agenda in Columbus and Washington.

 

The Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) believes that as an older region with a slow growing economy and little or no population growth, Northeast Ohio has special infrastructure needs.

 

So it wants to convince state and federal transportation funders to put more money into improving and maintaining existing infrastructure rather than continuing to favor building new road and bridge capacity.
