Cincinnati Streetcar

12/09/2025

On Sunday, a dozen+ advocates gathered at Redtree Art Gallery and Coffee Shop in OTR to discuss various ideas around better transportation options such as commuter rail, getting a crosswalk signal, making bus benches and more. We also shared results from the People Over Pavement canvassing. Attendees also browsed and borrowed books from our lending library. Here's what folks are reading:

Cincinnati isn’t getting a fair say when it comes to how our federal tax dollars are spent on regional transit in the region because leaders who we didn’t elect from surrounding rural and suburban counties control the decision-making. This means our elected leaders can't adequately advocate on our behalf for projects we support — like the Streetcar!

Join other supporters of the streetcar and Fair Share For Cincy in Walnut Hills, this Saturday 6/29 at 9:00 am to discuss future expansion options and how fair representation in our regional transportation planning plays a role in the expansion process. Come to hear updates, talk with neighbors, and help us bring fair representation in transit decisions to our region! Click the link below to sign up:

With the oldest and most traveled infrastructure in the region, Cincinnati deserves a fair say when it comes to streetcar and light rail priorities within our regional government. Take our informational survey to learn more and share your thoughts. https://bit.ly/3SYmBxm
