    The transit decisions we make in the next 10 years will define the way our city will grow for decades to come. The way we get around town directly impacts our wallets and quality of life, and for that reason, there may not be a more important public policy area.

    X-ing Columbus is a citizen-based blog whose mission is to facilitate conversation and spread information about local, state, and national transportation policy and options. Our hope is that by opening up a dialog, sharing knowledge, and getting up from behind our keyboards to action will set Columbus on the right path as it grows.
