Annual Report ACTION: Final ENACTED DATE: 03/19/2018 8:52 AM Appendix FISCAL YEAR5501-2-01 2017 ANNUAL REPORT vnf & 2018-2019 BUSINESS PLAN APPENDIX p(181099) pa(319869) d: (702367) ra(538897) print date: 06/29/2018 9:26 PM MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Our transportation system has been called the greatest public works project in history. The system is constantly growing and evolving. During state fiscal year 2017 ODOT invested approximately $2 billion into the state’s roads and bridges. This construction season included 1,016 projects, 21 valued at more than $10 million. Workers paved 7,130 miles of roadway – enough for a two-lane road from Seattle to Key West, and repaired or replaced 1,407 bridges. Between 2011 and 2017, ODOT has invested $14 billion on 6,876 road and bridge projects, all helping to keep Ohio’s economy moving. Our transportation network is Ohio’s greatest man-made asset, and it is our duty to ensure it is in the best condition possible. That’s why 90 cents of every dollar we’re spending on roads and bridges this year will go to preservation. By maintaining a safe, efficient and reliable transportation system, the people of ODOT help to create an environment for more jobs, easier commerce and a stronger Ohio. Safety is always a top priority for ODOT. 2017’s construction program included 173 projects aimed at making our roadways safer. These projects range from reconfigured intersections to additional signage and signals. We have seen an increase in the number of traffic deaths in Ohio over the last three years, and we are working hard to reverse this disturbing trend. This year ODOT launched a new mobile app – OHGO - for personal traffic alerts, information on road construction and travel delays, and hands-free voice on the go. We can no longer just build our way out of congestion. It is imperative that we manage our system more efficiently and effectively by offering the riding public better ways to travel. ODOT is also working to make the existing system work more efficiently by leveraging technology with intelligent transportation systems, and recently-approved variable speed limits and smart mobility corridors. ODOT is investing $15 million to install advanced highway technology along a 35‑mile stretch of U.S. Route 33 in Central Ohio. Our partnership with leading automotive research centers and local governments in the region will create an ideal proving ground to safely test innovative technologies that will change the way people and products are transported in Ohio and across the world. ODOT and the Ohio State Highway Patrol are using the state’s 130 freeway message signs, as well as portable highway signs, to raise awareness about the growing drugged-driving problem in Ohio. Drugged- driving crashes are up 25% over the last four years. Law enforcement officers, first responders, tow truck drivers and the majority of our workers here at ODOT do their jobs alongside our roads and highways. Their safety is at risk every time someone gets behind the wheel while impaired. The fundamental equation driving the Ohio Department of Transportation is this- “Results over resources equals return on investment, with money, safety, and time serving as the critical currencies.” Respectfully, Jerry Wray, ODOT Director ODOT 2017 Annual Report & 2018-2019 Business Plan | 3 OHIO’S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM Transportation is what keeps the country and economy moving and Ohio is truly a vital cross-road with a large and robust transportation network.

Check out the AMATS Road Diet Analysis! Now that we're in the middle of swimsuit season, there may be more than a few people wishing that they had gone on a diet sooner. In fact, AMATS thinks that the whole Greater Akron area could benefit from a mix of diets or - at least - some of its roadways would. The agency recently released its Road Diet Analysis, which identifies potential locations where road capacity far exceeds current volumes of daily traffic. Like any diet, a road diet means reductions - only it doesn't entail cutting calories or pounds - but excess capacity. A road diet reduces the number of travel lanes on a roadway and then adjusts or reassigns the space for other uses and travel modes. The analysis finds that many locations throughout Photo by Tim Fitzwater - Photography Photo by Tim the Greater Akron area are overbuilt due to being constructed when population and employment were greater than the present day.

For the third year in a row, ODOT will invest more than $1.9 billion in Ohio’s transportation network. In 2016, we will deliver more than 1,024 new projects across the state. Together, they are designed to improve the condition of the roads and bridges, increase safety, and make the transportation of people and goods more efficient. The Ohio Department of Transportation is charged with the care of Ohio’s most valuable man-made asset – the transportation network. We take this very seriously because investments in our infrastructure are vital to Ohio’s economic growth and development. By maintaining a safe, reliable, and efficient system, we help to create an environment for more jobs, easier commerce, and a stronger Ohio. Between 2011 and 2016, ODOT has committed approximately $12 billion for nearly 5,900 road and bridge projects. Over 90 percent of this is aimed at preservation, taking care of existing roads and bridges. And we’re doing a better, more effective and efficient job than ever. This year, the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways is celebrating its 60th anniversary. For the past decade, our department has used advanced software to gather and analyze data on our highway system to drive our preservation decision-making process. In order to prolong the life of the assets we own, we use that data to determine the preservation treatments like asphalt, micro-surfacing and bridge cleaning that will make our roads and bridges last longer.
