Oxford station (Ohio)

Oxford is a proposed Amtrak station in Oxford, Ohio that will be served by the Cardinal. The stop was first proposed in 2009, but an Amtrak study for such a stop determined that ridership would not be high enough to justify a stop in Oxford. However, in 2014, it was noted that nearby Miami University had a student population of around 16,000, prompting Amtrak to look again at adding an Oxford stop.[1] In the winter of 2016–2017, it was announced that $700,000 funding for the station has been provided by the City of Oxford and Miami University, each contributing $350,000.[2] Additional funding is still needed to complete $1 – $1.3 million station platform and shelter, and no schedule for construction or the start of service has yet been released.
