Stop, Look, and Listen is officially law in the state of Ohio. Side note: I'm glad I picked up my dry cleaning today or I'd have been behind the Governor in a hoodie. 🥹

Here's something fun to bring up at the big family dinner! If you get stuck at a railroad crossing:

1) GET OUT OF THE CAR
2) find this sign 👇
3) call the number and give them the x-ing number
4) get away from the crossing and keep others away

Be safe out there! 🙏

After what it took to get Stop, Look, and Listen passed, I'm sure of one thing. This cartoon lied to us. 🤣

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard over multiple GAs to get this one done!

I've developed a bit of a reputation, apparently. 🤣

Hear me out... Ann Arbor to Columbus passenger rail connectivity. Would anyone use it? 🤔

Someone asked me this week why I'm fighting so hard for transit. Between 10/5 and 11/5, I put 3k miles on my Jeep. And between 11/5 and 11/10, I added another 1k. All to places that would be served by one or more of the proposed routes in Ohio. I'm sick of driving. 🥹

All I want for Christmas is this kind of rail infrastructure put back in downtown Columbus. 🎁

Big time transit and transportation policy guy and advocate from Ohio that would love to be on this list! 😃

As an outspoken transit and rail advocate and lobbyist in Ohio... I'd love to be on the list. 😁
