What is Access Ohio?

   

 

ACCESS OHIO 2004 - 2030 is Ohio’s statewide transportation plan. It includes a comprehensive analysis of existing transportation conditions, a 26-year projection of the needs and recommendations for Ohio’s multi-modal transportation system, including roads, bridges, bicycle and pedestrian trails, rail systems, and air and water ports.

Hundreds of improvement projects, including many first identified in the Governor's Jobs and Progress Plan released August of 2003, are outlined in this important document.

Its vision and the projects and recommendations identified are distilled from long-range plans researched and compiled by regional Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), ODOT’s Safety and Congestion analysis, ODOT’s Interstate Reconstruction Program, local public transit officials, the Ohio Rail Development Commission and many others, including hundreds of projects identified by state and local officials.

ACCESS OHIO 2004 - 2030 incorporates and revisits many of the concepts, such as the Macro-Highway Corridor concept, in the original long-range state transportation plans completed in 1993 and 1996. The first and most important goal in our long-range plan is to increase the safety and efficiency of Ohio’s transportation system.
