Show Notes
We welcome back Thea Ewing!
She is the Chief Regional Development Officer and Senior Director of Programming, Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC).
Continued growth in Central Ohio calls for research, planning, and execution of strategies for the infrastructure of the region.
We talk with Thea about...
- How MORPC deals with many functions to support economic growth and improve lives, in a collaborative process throughout the region.
- Transportation; what is the current situation of public transit, commuter pathways, new development, funding, etc.
- The funding from the recent infrastructure bill and how that is being utilized
- Master Plan is currently being updated due to the INTEL project.
- The role of mass transportation in our city’s ability to move workers to employers?
- Specialized transportation programs, such as for the elderly and disabled, workers traveling across the region to employers, or rural communities
- Future plans under development – such as trains!
This is always a fun episode as we look into the future of transportation in Central Ohio.
A ton of resources were mentioned - we hope they are helpful for you.
We would love to hear from you.
