Transportation Planning, Safety and Feasibility Study Program

Conducting studies and plans help OVRDC assist member counties with transportation issues. The role of OVRDC as a Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) includes the opportunity to assist our member counties with safety and feasibility studies that often will lay the groundwork for larger funding applications and bigger project planning.

*Highland County Transit Feasibility Study was used as a preliminary study to help secure $1.1 Million grant award to fund a public transit project serving Highland and Adams Counties.

*Scioto County Active Transportation Plan was used as a preliminary study to help secure $400,000 grant award for an ODOT Safe Routes to Schools grant.

In the Boneyfiddle Historic District of Portsmouth, the WinterFest event drew thousands of people, and organizers of the Scioto County Active Transportation Plan project took the opportunity to collect public feedback on area transportation plans. The importance of public feedback on the draft plans can not be emphasized enough. The transportation plans and studies that OVRDC coordinates depend on the public to share their comments and public comments are always incorporated in the final plan. Please take time to participate when the public comment period is open to ensure your voice is heard.
