With four car service and ten minute headways, right now the Cincinnati Streetcar is providing the most frequent transit service of any route in the State of Ohio (and also probably Indiana and Kentucky)

"Want to skip parking altogether? Take advantage of the streetcar, which loops through Downtown and Over-the-Rhine with extended hours during festival weekend. Metro buses also run near the festival grounds, with a central stop at 5th and Main.".

Building a transit-only lane on Walnut is, dollar for dollar, the best thing our region could do to improve public transportation in the short term. The benefits far outweigh the costs.

Walnut accounts for only 18% of the Cincinnati Streetcar's route but is responsible for 60% of the system's traffic delays. A transit-only lane on Walnut will speed up the streetcar, 16 other buses that use this route, and pave the way for future Bus Rapid Transit service.

Implementing a transit-only lane on Walnut won’t just speed up buses, streetcar and first responders, it will give us years to figure out how best to enforce transit-only lane restrictions so BRT can succeed from Day 1.
Advocates for bus riders and the streetcar want the city and Metro to implement a transit-only lane along Walnut Street downtown. They say it will speed up service for riders and start preparing the city for Metro's bus-rapid transit later this decade.

Option 1: Build a transit-only lane on Walnut now to speed up hundreds of thousands of monthly transit riders. Option 2: Wait four years to build this transit lane; costs will rise. Option 3: Never build it, which throws BRT into jeopardy.

Why does Ohio keep thinking that putting up 'Move to Ohio' billboards in New York is going to work? . (Also this billboard is basically lying, we have CAT tax which functions pretty much exactly like a corporate income tax)
Wow… it would appear that the coastoids are not enticed by notorious conman Vivek Ramswamy telling them to move to Ohio to escape the specter of a democratic socialist mayor.

The next tweet has the reason for the rent growth "The region continues to permit multifamily units at a per capita rate far below its growing peer cities.". The best thing we can do to lower rents is build a ton of housing along transit lines in the City of Cincinnati.
Greater Cincinnati is seeing the second-fastest rent growth in the U.S., with annualized rents up 3.5% at a time when rents nationwide are flat or falling.

RT @mattjjacob: No-brainer improvements like this to transit are where we should be spending our limited funds first.
