Columbus, OH — The Ohio Environmental Council (OEC) Action Fund celebrates the successful approval of Issue 47, the LinkUS transit initiative, in a major victory for sustainable transportation in Central Ohio. With community support, LinkUS will expand sidewalks, greenways, and Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) services across the region.
The following quote can be attributed, in whole or in part, to Carol Kauffman, Ohio Environmental Council (OEC) Action Fund President:
“Central Ohioans deserve to live in a healthy, thriving community that is safe and accessible. And thanks to Central Ohio voters decisively passing Issue 47, we are one step closer to that goal. LinkUS will reduce transportation pollution and help our region fight climate change. By expanding access to reliable public transportation, sidewalks, bike paths, and greenways, we can ensure a cleaner, healthier community where we can all breathe easier.”
