As Green Party Governor of Ohio, I would advocate smaller high speed rail plans for Ohio than Ted Strickland's monsterous 3-C project. By doing smaller projects such as a Cleveland-Youngstown-Pittsburgh and a Columbus-Pittsburgh model, we could test the benefits of high speed rail before committing to a huge cross-state project.
High Speed Rail would be more attractive than more highways because:
- Less use of land space.
- Cost of a mass rail transit system would cost ¼ of what it would be to build another 4-lane highway.
- Faster travel.
- Less maintenance costs (no orange barrels out every 6 months)
- Less cars on the road. Less pollution in the air.
