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.
