The ThriveTogether Sustainability Playbook for Greater Cincinnati features a series of Implementation Measures for the community called the Priority Climate Action Plan.

This table of strategies was compiled from the direct input of shareholders in the region, gathered primarily on the Go Vocal platform.

With a diverse and varied region, robust public engagement is the central mechanism that formulates the planning and implementation process.

3. Develop EV hubs that support transit ridership and/or public or private fleet vehicle operations including infrastructure needed to support charging lots.
4. Support fleet EV and alternative fuel vehicle purchases for local government, school districts, and transit.
5. Support use of battery electric locomotives in local rail freight operations.
6. Provide case studies/examples to lower mystery and demonstrate effectiveness of low/zero emission vehicles to local governments.
7. Support the use of electric Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Vertical Take-Off and Landing (e-VTOLs) to replace diesel truck trips within the region.
8. Improve bike and pedestrian connectivity so that residents can safely access the places they need to go and transit for longer trips.

16. Advance efforts to develop and utilize sustainable aviation fuel via feasibility studies and/or infrastructure.
17. Support ongoing intra/interstate Amtrak projects. Develop a proposal for a regional system.
18. Implement programs to bridge the gap between rail travel and local destinations and movement while at the destination.
19. Promote Transit oriented development zoning and incentives for this type of development.
