March 29, 20214 yr April 7-9 Virtual ODOT Conference: Ohio Civil Rights Transportation Symposium "Inclusion through Innovation" Ohio's Civil Rights Transportation Symposium explores the value that diversity and inclusion brings to both the industry and the state. During this event, thought leaders from business, government, and academia will hold discussions on issues related to contracting, business development, regulatory compliance, and the future of transportation. This year’s Symposium is proud to follow Governor DeWine’s lead and broaden its approach by including other demographic groups that face obstacles with job attainment, business formation, and mobility services - including those with disabilities, seniors, and the chronically unemployed or under-employed. Cost: $25. https://www.transportation.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/odot/about-us/conferences/civil-rights-transportation-symposium#page=1

Ohio looking at options to replace gas tax https://highlandcountypress.com/Content/In-The-News/In-The-News/Article/Ohio-looking-at-options-to-replace-gas-tax/2/20/87314 Take ODOT's survey: https://ohioroadfunding.com/ Make sure you type out your comments when prompted, the survey is very short and I don't think they're going to get much out of their survey otherwise. (Optimistically assuming that they are going to read and take into account our comments rather than assuming that ODOT already has a preconceived solution in mind.) My own thoughts on how ODOT can better fund our roads: 1. Reduce maintenance costs. Invest in better road designs that have lower future maintenance costs. Reduce the lane-miles that need to be maintained and the number of bridges that need to be maintained. Perhaps some county roads can be demoted to chip or gravel and maintained by cities/counties rather than ODOT. 2. Increase funding based on what causes road wear. That would mean vehicle-miles-traveled and weight-based registration fees. Electric vehicles are heavier; trucks dramatically outweigh any personal passenger vehicle. Keep (or even lower or eliminate) the gas tax, but if it stays make it a percentage of the price rather than a flat fee (asphalt costs rise with gas prices and a flat tax doesn't account for that). (ODOT also should consider what amount of money they need to maintain our roadways in a state of good repair, and plan rates to ensure that at least that much is raised.) 3. ODOT also could leverage its assets better -- trains along roadway right-of-way would get cars off the road and make ODOT more than ODO-Roads.

March 14, 20232 yr Tom Patton strikes again.... Brunswick officials call proposed highway interchange policy ‘disastrous’ Published: Mar. 14, 2023, 7:42 a.m. By Brian Lisik, special to cleveland.com BRUNSWICK, Ohio --- A section of Ohio House Bill 23, which has passed the House of Representatives and is headed to the state Senate, could be “disastrous” for Brunswick residents, according to Brunswick City Council President and Ward 1 Councilman, Nicholas Hanek. “This legislation specifically opposes a section of the transportation bill that is currently in the Senate that would mandate there to be interstate highway interchanges every 4.5 miles,” Hanek said of a Brunswick City Council resolution passed unanimously March 13. “That would put an interchange [off Interstate 71 south] at either Boston or Grafton Road or Drake Road in Strongsville. Many residents from both cities may be surprised that a representative for Cuyahoga County [bill sponsor Tom Patton, R-Strongsville] has proposed a highway interchange, potentially into a neighborhood.” MORE: https://www.cleveland.com/community/2023/03/brunswick-officials-call-proposed-highway-interchange-policy-disastrous.html "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
