Was watching a marathon and saw someone run by in an All Aboard Ohio sweatshirt. Had never seen him before, still don’t know who it was. Absolutely surreal moment to remember that this isn’t some small movement, there are thousands of Ohioans supporting us. More of that in 2026.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Ohio could have an incredible intercity bus AND rail network. But the key is that it should be both. Buses are an important part of the puzzle getting Ohioans to hubs and trains provide the capacity to move large amounts of people from city to city. Let’s do both!

The Cleveland metro population hasn’t increased in 50 years, yet the area of developed land has nearly doubled. Our cities were hollowed out, and now we need twice the infrastructure to serve the same number of people.
Side-by-side land use maps of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, comparing years 1948 and 2002. The 1948 map shows mostly undeveloped land (white) with some developed areas (red) concentrated in the northeast. The 2002 map shows a dramatic increase in red, indicating widespread development throughout the county. Green areas represent parks and preserved land, and yellow indicates remaining undeveloped land. Both maps include major roads and are accompanied by population figures: 1,389,532 in 1950 and 1,393,978 in 2000—showing almost no population growth despite significant land development. The maps are sourced from the Western Reserve Land Conservancy.
