Take the Access Ohio Survey - Tell ODOT you WANT TO BIKE!
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has begun the process of updating Ohio's long-range transportation
plan, Access Ohio. The new plan, with a horizon year of 2040, will include a comprehensive inventory, forecast,
and analysis of the trends and issues affecting transportation throughout Ohio. This plan will set the stage for
ODOT transportation policies and investment strategies for the coming years. Access Ohio 2040 will be
completed in 2013. The previous long range plan was completed in 2004, to view Access Ohio

The updated plan will include consideration of the following: all areas of the state, 2010 census data, trends in
population changes, trends in freight movement, trends in economic development, recently completed ODOT
plans, and financial resources available to execute the plan.
The updated plan will: inventory existing conditions of infrastructure for all modes of transportation, inventory
ridership for all transit agencies, inventory existing crash data, inventory all major environmental assets, seek
input from transportation stakeholders and the public, identify macro-corridors, project the future conditions of
all ODOT-owned roads (pavement conditions, bridge conditions, demand and congestion), document potential
impacts of climate variability on existing infrastructure, and demonstrate consistency with plans from
metropolitan planning organizations.
