The Pullins Report - Ohio's Highway System is Seriously Outdated

Right Angle Blog this morning links to an excellent PD article on how Ohio's turnpike is seriously behind the times. The article discusses how turnpike bureacrats have resisted implementation of an EZpass system like most states have.

The article just touches the surface of Ohio's seriously outdated transportation system. While other states are building roads and investing in high speed passenger rail, Ohio is doing nothing. Ohio's roads are decrepit, rail transportation is nonexistent, and turnpike and highway facilities are dirty and old.

It's pretty bad when the nicest, cleanest rest areas in the region are in West Virginia. For more information on how Ohio can improve its transportation system, visit our friends over at Road to Work Ohio.

Some think that turnpike privatization will help solve Ohio's transportation problems. Others think it will only lead to more governmental corruption. Nonetheless, Ohio's transportation problem is neither a Republican or Democrat issue that needs serious debate and attention from all.

Thank you.
