Description
The Ohio Department of Transportation’s Formal Safety Funding Program is part of the Highway Safety Improvement Program. Managed by the Office of Transportation and Economic Development, it supports higher-cost, more complex improvements at locations with a history of fatal or injury crashes where low-cost safety measures have not solved the problem. These projects receive a more detailed review through the formal safety application process.
Funding priority goes to locations identified as state or regional safety priorities or covered by a completed local road safety plan. The office manages the program as part of its work in highway safety, capital program delivery, and strategic infrastructure investment.
