Cleveland City Council passed a resolution yesterday to urge Kasich to support the plan.
 

What has been proposed, funded and at risk: $400 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, 250 miles of track.

High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program
Cleveland – Columbus – Dayton – Cincinnati
 
This new corridor connects four major metropolitan areas in Ohio: Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati. This significant route, named the "3C Corridor," has a length of 250 miles and will serve communities near Lake Erie, in Central Ohio, and the Tri-State region around Cincinnati. These metropolitan areas are among the largest in the United States that are currently not served by passenger rail.
