Summary: Supports widespread use of proven countermeasures to prevent pedestrian and roadway departure crashes.
Description
The Ohio Department of Transportation’s Systemic Safety Funding Program encourages projects that implement proven roadway safety countermeasures identified by the Federal Highway Administration. Its approach is proactive: systemic improvements are intended for widespread use where roadway features have been associated with particular crash types, rather than focusing only on individual crash locations. The program emphasizes countermeasures that prevent pedestrian and roadway departure crashes.
The program is managed by the Office of Transportation and Economic Development within ODOT’s Division of Planning. The office plans projects and manages funding programs as part of its work on strategic infrastructure investments, highway safety, and capital program delivery.
