It is a worldwide movement, and Cincinnati is hosting our second March 3rd, 2010 at 6pm. It is a 21+ event. (Language and Alcohol with both be served)

What is it like?

The talks are funny, interesting, nerdy, quick and from the heart.

CINCYPAC PRESSES ON WITH SUPPORT FOR STREETCAR DESPITE LOSING FIRST ROUND OF TIGER FUNDING

CincyPAC is optimistic the City of Cincinnati, residents and other community supporters will press on in the pursuit of a streetcar system despite the city’s missing out on a first round of federal funding.

“Our members have told us that transportation improvements in Cincinnati are their top priority,” says Candace Klein, president of CincyPAC. “This organization will remain committed to bringing a streetcar to Cincinnati, and we hope City Hall and local business leaders maintain the momentum despite this hiccup.”

Cincinnati’s proposed streetcar project was not included in a list of 51 projects slated to receive $1.5 billion Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) funding. City leaders were hoping to receive a $60 million grant to underwrite the first phase of the streetcar plan.

“Enhanced public transportation, including a comprehensive streetcar system, is critical to CincyPAC’s other priorities, including recruiting and retaining young talent, supporting local entertainment and cultural venues, and supporting environmentally sound efforts,” says Klein.

CincyPAC is a political action committee geared toward educating city official candidates and holding them accountable to moving Cincinnati forward, ensuring the city appeals to young professionals. We are non-partisan group made up of Greater Cincinnati professionals, diverse in profession, background and political viewpoint.
