One of the items on his list that Mallory will discuss directly with the Obama administration is funding for the Cincinnati Streetcar system.

Let's hope he does a good job convincing the president that it is a worthwhile cause. I also hope that the meeting goes a long way to insure Cincinnati gets a nice chunk of money from the stimulus package to stimulate the local economy here in other ways.

I'm especially excited to hear this: "Mallory said he was especially pleased to see that of the $12 billion set aside for transit projects, some $7 billion of that would go directly to cities instead of flowing through state governments."
This is awesome news for Cincinnati, I really think we have a strong shot of getting the funding we need from the stimulus package to get the streetcar system up and running.
I can't wait to hear exactly what kind of money we'll be getting from this.
