Transit Columbus publicly launched their advocacy group yesterday, and plan to serve as a voice for a regional, multi-model public transportation network in Central Ohio. Their focus includes buses, light rail, passenger rail, bicycle and pedestrian options and alternatives.
“As Columbus celebrates its bicentennial, our region is on the verge of becoming one of the nation’s premiere metropolitan centers,” said Eric Davies, board chair of Transit Columbus. “The missing piece is a truly diverse public transportation system to serve all of Central Ohio’s citizens, visitors and businesses.”
Transit Columbus first formed as a nonprofit in 2011 to champion public transportation efforts, which the group states will improve the safety, health, environment and economic vitality of the region.
“We also want to be a voice for the idea of ‘complete streets’ – with transit infrastructure as a priority – to support smart growth in our neighborhoods that make our streets pedestrian, transit, and bicycle friendly,” added Davies.

Love it! They need to get a FB & Twitter though, I know that even if I bookmark that site, I’ll never remember to go back and check up on them, I never actually use my bookmarks…
Asch. Yes! We will soon! Working on it…Will post here when we have all set up. Plus a blog coming soon too, so you can put us in your RSS or reader feeds.
I have a fair degree of sympathy for the ends of groups like this, but …
mass transit =/ public transit.

Hopefully, our government (state and local) will all work together to get projects done.
