6. State Revenue Sources FY 2018 - Estimates
And, on the state side, nearly all of our revenue comes from the State Motor Fuel Tax, which is Constitutionally mandated to be spent on our State’s roads and bridges. This is directly affected by the price at the pump and the economy and directly impacts the amount people drive. The lower the price…the better the economy…the more people drive, which means more miles travelled.

of all freight traffic
With such high traffic demands comes wear and tear and the constant need to maintain and preserve our infrastructure, all while working to enhance capacity and expand our system. All of which will keep the economic wheels of our state moving.
And, for ODOT specifically, we maintain more than 43 thousand lane miles and 14 thousand bridges. These state maintained roads carry 57 percent of all traffic and 67 percent of freight traffic…and, because of their size and mission, freight traffic requires the highest standard of road.

11. Total Funding Distribution
The fact is…What we do matters. Our mission is critical to the welfare and prosperity of our state, our cities, villages and townships.
Our transportation system impacts everybody’s life,… every day. It impacts our safety,… our economy,… and our quality of life.
In Ohio,… and throughout the country,… private life, including private enterprise, depends on a publicly provided physical infrastructure It is not optional and it is not inexpensive. We are a $3 billion industry that gets the job done!
We know and understand the success of Ohio and its transportation system does not start and end with the state system. You, our local partners, are key. ODOT is required by law to share with our local partners, which equals approximately 10 percent of our total budget. But…

14. Taking Care of What We Have
90%
The fact is ODOT has an awesome responsibility to protect the investment Ohioans have made in our transportation system and that’s why 90% of what we have goes towards preservation, on average. Even when we look at adding capacity…a portion of those jobs also rehabilitate or modernize the existing infrastructure.

16. Doing More with your money
Saved $600 Million through efficiencies
Public Private Partnerships
Efficiencies in operations
Asset Management Program
We have an obligation to wisely use every single tax payer dollar sent our way. Here are just a few of the ways were doing it…
Through savings and efficiencies due to reduction in workforce through attrition, operation savings and others…we’ve successfully been able to put $600 million back into our program.
By harnessing the power of the private sector, we’re looking to see how we can leverage private sector dollars to build projects now instead of years from now…saving time and inflationary costs down the road.
We’re always looking for ways operationally to things better, smarter and less expensively.
Making the best decisions at the right times with expertise and data

17. Three-Part Approach 1 2 3 State-of-the-Art Technology
Aggressive Preservation Treatments 3
More Collaboration
As we work to better preserve our infrastructure we’re looking at a new approach that includes state-of-the-art technology for better decision-making, aggressive preservation treatments and more collaboration across ODOT’s divisions.
We’ll go into some details about each, but the big picture is that ODOT is switching gears from fixing the “worst first” to a preservation strategy. It makes good business sense to get out in front of problems before they occur. That’s why we’ll be cleaning, sweeping, sealing, painting and resurfacing statewide on an even more aggressive schedule than ever before. Better data and more collaboration make this possible, and result in better, more timely decisions.
We’re striving for a new level of consistency across districts so we can keep repeating best practices and eliminate practices that aren’t effective in terms of cost, time and quality.
With greater collaboration and more information about our transportation assets, we can identify and address concerns faster to keep our roads and bridges in better shape.
Conaway 2018

18. State-of-the-Art Technology
First, our state-of-the-art technology.
Our Pavement Management System software (also known as DTIMS) conducts objective data analysis on when and how to treat a roadway. It determines road resurfacing priorities with the highest benefit at the lowest cost. It factors in things like traffic volume and overall road condition to help us make better decisions when spending taxpayer dollars.

19. Earlier, More Cost Effective Treatments
Deck sealing
Bridge cleaning/sweeping
Crack sealing
Chip/micro/smooth sealing
Underdrain clean-outs
Instead of traditional (and more expensive) treatments for roads and bridges, districts across the state are including a variety of more frequent and cost-effective strategies in their work plans.
Conaway 2018

20. Aggressive Preservation: Roadways
More chip seals
Extends road life by 5 to 7 years
One third to one fourth the cost of conventional overlays
A big change in our preservation strategies is more chip seal and microsurfacing to extend surface life. Chip seal allows ODOT to maintain roads at a fourth of the cost of conventional overlays.
With chip seal overlays, we extend the time between full-depth replacements. This lowers costs over the long term, enabling ODOT to resurface more roads and provide a smoother ride for more people.
But we won’t chip seal just any road. We’ll consider several factors, including average daily traffic (no chip seal on roads with more than 2,500 or truck traffic of 250) and the overall condition of the road. We’ll use treatments when and where they are appropriate.
For successful implementation of these strategies, we’ll need county forces to ensure that roads are ready to pave. We need to make sure the culverts are replaced and any pavement repairs are completed.
We’re doing more inspections on chip seals to improve quality and guarantee performance, and are requiring contractors to provide a two-year warranty.
We also need the districts and counties to make sure contractors are doing the job the right way, at the right time, and under the right conditions. Temperatures, amount of application and quality of application are all extremely important.

21. Aggressive Preservation: Bridges
Proactively cleaning and sealing bridges
keep the joints, side structure, surfaces and drains in good repair
extends surface life
slows rusts & deterioration
Bridges are very expensive. Making them last longer is smart and cost-effective.
We’re also more proactively cleaning and sealing bridges to keep the joints, side structure, surfaces and drains in good repair and extend surface life.
If we don’t clean a bridge regularly, the dirt and water sit on the steel, which can make it rust and deteriorate more rapidly. Bridges are very expensive. Keeping them lasting longer is smart and cost-effective.

22. Collaboration Capital and maintenance work under one plan
Continuous interaction between planning and construction engineers, front line crews, and contractors
Capturing, analyzing and replicating success statewide
The third prong of our strategy is even more collaboration.
We’re coordinating capital and maintenance work under one plan, which is new. Before we had two plans. Now we’re all on the same page – literally.
We will continuously share information between our planners, engineers, front line crews, local governments and contractors to
We’re capturing, analyzing and replicating successes across the state.
To HTs: Your critical feedback helps us keep roads in better condition than ever before. We can make smarter decisions thanks to you. We are learning from your interaction with the public, the conditions you report and your first-hand practical knowledge of what’s happening on our roads and bridges every day. We used that information, along with data analysis, to develop the work plan. This continuous, two-way communication will give us the information we need to give taxpayers –that’s us, too! – the best return on our investment.
