COMMITMENTS AND PROGRESS BY PARTNERS

OKI Land Use Commission
The Commission on Land Use was provided for in OKI’s Year 2010 Regional Transportation Plan. Its main task is to identify linkages between land use and transportation, and develop a transportation-sensitive regional land use plan. The 2010 Plan was attempting to address the federal guidelines in the transportation planning process. One of those factors is the effects of transportation policy on land use and development.

OKI’s Board of Trustees recognized that the land use - transportation connection is very complex, involving such issues as natural resources, economic development, water and sewer infrastructure, social issues and fiscal policies. Because of that complexity, the Board of Trustees elected to sit as the land use commission.

The OKI Land Use Commission outlined a process that will present the big picture of where this region is today, where the region wants to be at some future date, and how to get there - a strategic approach.

State of the Community United Way Indicators Project
The United Way’s State of the Community is a report on the Socio-Economic Health of the Greater Cincinnati Region. Solving the region’s problems and building on strengths is enhanced through a mechanism that identifies key indicators of the region’s social and economic health and tracks those indicators over many years. This is an ongoing project through which change is measured in the region’s well-being by a set of 26 high-quality, valid and reliable indicators. This process will determine whether the quality of life in the region is improving or not – and whether strategic interventions are making a difference. The report concludes that our region is particularly strong compared to national averages in the following areas: percent of college-age persons attending college; percent of area residents with a Bachelor’s Degree or Higher; per capita income; unemployment rate; percent of population in poverty; housing affordability ratio; commuting time; murder rate and; voting. The region fairs worse than the national average on the following: infant mortality rate; percent of adults smoking; obesity; percent of job gain or loss; percent of workforce 20-35 years old; residential segregation and; non-violent crime.

Sustainable Cincinnati Regional Indicators Project
Sustainable Cincinnati was born of the belief that the 8-county, tri-state metropolitan region can become a sustainable community by paying attention to where we are now and holding one another accountable for our future. The Indicators Project is rooted in the concept of sustainable community – recognizing the interdependence of the environment, economic development, and social equity. We want to support a decision-making climate that invests in what is good for today without compromising the future for our children, a climate that benefits each person and the common good.

Greater Ohio
Greater Ohio is the citizens' network promoting — through research, public education and grassroots advocacy — public policy to grow our economy and improve our quality of life through intelligent land use. To this end, Greater Ohio will work to support redevelopment of existing communities, strengthen regional cooperation and protect the countryside and Ohio’s natural resources.

Citizens for Civic Renewal – Cincinnati Metropatterns
The Cincinnati Metropatterns Report, commissioned by Mryon Orfield and released in October of 2001, identified three key trends that faced the Cincinnati Region: social separation; urban sprawl, and fiscal disparities. The concentrated poverty in the urban core reveals some of the most pronounced patterns of separation by race and income in the nation which affects the entire region. The sprawling nature of the region increases the financial pressure on newer, outer-ring communities to keep up with the costs of growth plus contributes to additional congestion on roadways and threatens air and water quality. Fiscal disparities further exasperate the problems in the older inner-cities and struggling first suburbs.
