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.
