Description
The Ohio Department of Transportation’s Abbreviated Safety Funding Program supports the rapid implementation of safety improvements at locations with a crash pattern and a safety concern. Its simplified review process helps less expensive, less complex projects move forward quickly, with funding for construction and, depending on project sponsor needs, design work.
The program focuses on simple projects using proven safety countermeasures. Locations with high injury severity and pedestrian safety improvements receive special consideration. The program is managed by the Office of Transportation and Economic Development within ODOT’s Division of Planning, whose work includes capital program delivery, highway safety, and economic development.
