Planned Transportation Spending
An examination of Ohio’s 2012-2015 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program reveals that road maintenance/minor widening projects account for the largest chunk of planned spending (40 percent). Making up 21 percent of the STIP, bridge maintenance/replacement projects follow. Transit projects** account for 12 percent, and new road capacity projects 11 percent. Safety projects* comprise 8 percent of the planned spending. Bicycle/pedestrian projects** make up 3 percent. Projects classified as “other” make up 2 percent and road or bridge projects with bicycle/pedestrian components (such as adding sidewalks when reconstructing a roadway), also make up 2 percent of the STIP. Bridge capacity expansion projects account for less than 1 percent of the planned expenditures. share
