No-brainer improvements like this to transit are where we should be spending our limited funds first

Excellent idea. We should do this immediately. @camhardy513

Cincinnati Area Highest Ridership Transit Routes June 2025. Orange routes denote 24/7 service.

A behind the scenes look at the @Connector_Cincy from Jeff Williamson. youtube.com/watch?v=Jl8uHO…

Not sure who this "Brad Harris" is, but he's got some good ideas.

The Cincinnati streetcar was amazing to ride yesterday. @Connector_Cincy

"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." newsbreak.com/rnb-cincy-100-…

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.

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 bizjournals.com/cincinnati/new…

From Central Parkway to 3rd Street, there are only 23 metered parking spaces on the east curb lane of Walnut

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)

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

Walnut is the most crucial corridor for public transit in our region. In the near future, the seven highest ridership routes will all use Walnut. City Council needs to designate a single, transit-only lane to benefit the 8.4 million riders per year who depend on this service.
