Our Vision
Today is a new day for rail. New rail equipment manufacturing will create more jobs for Ohioans. Fast, frequent, modern trains will link cities, spurring new development. Toledo will be a major passenger hub, and rail upgrades will add freight train capacity as well. And fuel-efficient rail will benefit air quality and ease highway congestion.
NOPRA’s Mission
- Educate the public on the availability and advantages of passenger rail
