What was liked:Regional ProfilesMultimodal ApproachStrategic Transportation System Using the JobsOhio regional boundariesInitiation of a Transit Needs Study

What could be improved:Use of the term “Strategic Investment Priorities (SIP)”STS MappingCongestion MappingDemographic Data (identification of trends)Economic Data

What we Heard!




Results Based on Modes:Aviation and bike needs were generally rated low

– Lack of available data to identify real needs

Maritime needs were generally rated very high– General consensus on needs

There was general agreement with the highway needs

Survey Results



Access Ohio 2040 is meant to be read and understood by all transportation users and stakeholders

To make the plan more user friendly, the plan document itself has been condensed to focus on the final plan recommendations

Supporting documentation for the recommendations is available as a series of technical memos

2. Leveraging Resources

3. Future Funding

4. Asset Management

5. Freight Network

6. Transit Needs

7. Climate Variability

8. Bicycle Network

Why are you here?

The Access Ohio team wants to know:Are the recommendations easy to understand?

Are the recommendations compelling?

Do the recommendations enhance your organization’s mission?

Is there important information missing from the recommendations?

Is there unnecessary information within the recommendations?



Recommendation: Expand ODOT’s performance management processes by developing additional modal performance measures and reporting systems.

Desired Outcome: •2014 – Publish a semi-annual report of transportation

system conditions/trends•2040 – Robust performance management process integrated into

project programming

October 8, 2013

Performance Management



Leveraging ResourcesRecommendation: Leverage available resources (e.g. state owned infrastructure, financial partnerships, higher federal participation rates) to maximize transportation investments.

Desired Outcome: •2014 – Expand programming practices that leverage local

funding participation•2014 – Limit transportation funding carry forward•2014 – Begin utilizing higher federal participation rates

on freight projects•2020 – Generate $2 billion in new revenue from leveraging

state owned assets•2040 – Generate $5 billion in new revenue from leveraging

state owned assets



Future Funding

Recommendation: Remain engaged in the national/statewide dialogue on transportation funding by:

– Assisting the Ohio Joint Legislative Task Force on Transportation Funding– Investigating Active Traffic Demand Management (ATDM) solutions in Ohio– Monitoring economic trends

Desired Outcome: •2014 – ODOT will have a clearer understanding

of the potential for implementing ATDM solutions in Ohio

•2014 – Work with the Task Force to investigate more sustainable revenue sources

•2040 – ODOT’s revenue will be balanced with transportation system needs, as identified by ODOT’s performance management process



Asset Management

Recommendation: Continue to develop asset management tools within ODOT and integrate them into the project selection process

Desired Outcome: •2014 – Develop functioning pavement and bridge management

systems which will be incorporated into ODOT’s project selection processes

•2014 – Continue to develop a Transportation Asset Management (TAM) framework that will manage other facets of Ohio’s transportation system

•2040 – Complete TAM framework integrated into performance management processes



Freight Network

Recommendation: Conduct detailed studies of the two-lane corridors on Ohio’s freight network to identify needed operational improvements and provide live data feeds with current travel times to business logistic systems

Desired Outcome: •2016 – Complete detailed studies on the two-lane corridors of the STS to identify and prioritize needed operational improvements

•2040 – Publish travel speed data for Ohio’s freight highway network as a direct data feed



Transit Needs

Recommendation: Perform a Statewide Transit Needs Study to capture the actual transit needs and performance in Ohio.

Desired Outcome: •2014 – Complete a Statewide Transit Need Study to supply both ODOT and local decision-

makers with the data and analysis to make effective and informed decisions to identify and advance projects to meet future transit needs across the state

•2040 – Establish performance measures for every Ohio transit system that guide funding decisions



Climate Variability

Recommendation: Complete a Statewide Climate Variability Study to identify weather sensitive components of Ohio’s transportation infrastructure.

Desired Outcome: •2014 – Complete a Statewide Climate Variability Study

to equip ODOT to proactively and efficiently plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain weather sensitive infrastructure

•2040 – Areas of the state most affected by weather events will be identified and future projects within these areas will have climate variability mitigation built into the basic project design



Bicycle Network

Recommendation: Coordinate with local jurisdictions to designate Ohio’s National and State Bike Routes and begin recording bicycle counts.

Desired Outcome: •2014 – Complete coordination and designation of USBR 50 •2014 – Develop a protocol for performing bicycle

counts and a statewide bicycle count database•2020 – ODOT will complete coordination and designation of the remaining US bike routes in Ohio•2040 – ODOT will complete coordination

and designation of all State bikeroutes



Planning PartnershipsRecommendation: Continue to foster partnerships with regional and local transportation planning agencies.

Desired Outcome: •2040 – Coordinate state, regional and local

transportation priorities in every locality in Ohio which will maximize the benefits from transportation investments



Strategic Transportation SystemRecommendation: Incorporate the Strategic Transportation System (STS) into project selection processes and development of performance targets for various types of transportation facilities.

Desired Outcome: •2040 – The STS will be the tool that state,

regional and local transportation agencies use to prioritize and coordinate additional discretionary transportation investments



Regional Transportation NeedsRecommendation: Address the list of regional transportation needs (RTNs) based on condition, demographic, and economic data along with stakeholder input and additional statewide studies.

Desired Outcome: •2040 – ODOT will directly address the transportation needs on the regional profiles or partner with the appropriate agencies to facilitate meeting the need
