Travel Plan
SECTION 2 - INTRODUCTION
The Franklinton Community Mobility Plan is a broad planning effort that includes development of a “School Travel Plan” as one of its elements. The Franklinton Community Mobility Plan is intended to guide future efforts to improve mobility and related livability issues in the Franklinton area of the City of Columbus. Situated on the west bank of the Scioto River, across from Downtown Columbus, Franklinton is one of the most historic areas of the City. Accordingly, the area is characterized by grid streets, older housing stock, and a variety of land uses that pre-date current zoning and land-use plans. Franklinton was selected for a number of reasons; some of which include new development potential due to the floodwall, the number of pedestrian crashes in the area, and the capability and representation of the Franklinton Area Commission and Franklinton Board of Trade. The Franklinton Community Mobility Plan (FCMP) will complement and further detail the recently completed Franklinton Plan and the East Franklinton Overlay. The purpose of the FCMP project is to develop a plan with the community directed towards goals that:
Balance the transportation infrastructure for moving people and goods by several modes, notably including pedestrian, bicycle, automobile, transit, truck, and rail
Reduce traffic violations, ticketed and non-ticketed (speeding, failure to yield to pedestrians, running red-light, etc.)
Recognize and strengthen the connection between land use and the transportation system
Promote distinct and vibrant neighborhoods The study area encompasses the entire Franklinton Community, highlighted in white on Figure 1. The general project area is bound by the Scioto River to the north and east, I-70 and Greenlawn Cemetery to the west, and Greenlawn Avenue and Mound Street to the south. Any underpasses, including those along the boundary line, are included. The study area encompasses just over 3.0 square miles. The entire Franklinton boundary area is located within a 2 mile radius of an elementary school and specific improvements are targeted very close or at school locations. A broad network of stakeholders was established with specific interests in the safety and well-being of area children, including public school employees, members of police department from local precincts, parents, and transportation engineers in order to aid in improvement alternatives and highlight priority areas. Recommendations are geared toward the overall mobility of the

SECTION 3 – THE PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS
An extensive public involvement process was implemented beginning with a Communication Plan to guide public involvement efforts throughout the project. The purpose of the Communications Plan was not only to inform and educate, but also to engage stakeholders and the public in the process, analysis, and ultimate outcomes of the decisions that will affect them, the schools, and the entire Franklinton neighborhood. Early involvement with the community increased public interest and ownership of the Franklinton Community Safe Routes to School Travel Plan. The involvement of concerned community leaders is expected to enhance the effectiveness of recommended strategies and establish trust and confidence in the outcomes.
Six key stakeholder groups were identified and one-on-one meetings were held to discuss project goals and receive valuable input. Key stakeholders were identified as individuals or organizations that have special interests in the Franklinton Community and have the ability to provide a leadership and guidance role. Table 3 provides a summary of the six key stakeholder groups. Other contacts, such as residents and businesses owners, were not assigned an individual meeting, but were invited to public events. A database of both individual key stakeholders and other contacts has been provided in Appendix A.

Stakeholders, contacts, and other community members were invited to 5 public events, as listed in Table 4. Separate meetings were held prior to the initial and final open houses to inform key stakeholders of project processes and receive input prior to presenting to the general public. The public involvement process was highlighted with the Neighborhood Walk, conducted by Dan Burden of Walkable Communities, where project team members and community members essentially walked the entire Franklinton Community study area. The walk was an interactive event with community members designed to observe existing study area conditions, isolate problem areas, and to describe and experience possible solution alternatives.

Several methods were used to notify the general public of upcoming events. A project web site was established to provide a summary of purpose and goals of
the project. Display graphics and documents describing project activities, findings, and recommendations, were posted. Fliers were prepared for each meeting and were posted to the website. (www.columbusmobility.info)
Thousands of fliers were mailed and/or electronically mailed to stakeholders, area residents, and businesses. Fliers were posted in windows of willing businesses. Fliers were converted into large sized posters and were placed at community gathering places.
Articles detailing upcoming events were published on the front page of the Franklinton News, a community newspaper published by the Gladden Community House. Several community events were attended in an attempt to promote the workshop and walk.

SECTION 4 – DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOLS
There are three elementary schools and one middle school in the Franklinton area, as documented on Figure 2. The elementary schools serve grades K through 5, and Starling Middle School serves grades 6 through 8. Sullivant Elementary School moved from the corner of State Street and Grubb Street to its current location in spring 2007. Avondale Elementary School will be closed for remodeling until summer 2009. In the meantime, students are bused to old Watkins School at 1486 Watkins Road. Figure 2 – School Locations

It may be necessary for children of many families to walk to school for financial reasons. There are also a greater percentage of disabled students in the Franklinton Community than the statewide average who require accessible routes to school. English proficiency is also significantly less than the statewide average.

SECTION 6 – CURRENT SCHOOL TRAVEL ENVIRONMENT
Data was provided by the City of Columbus Public Schools Transportation Department that indicates the number of students currently bussed to/from schools within the Franklinton Community. Students are picked up/dropped off in front of Dana Elementary School on Princeton Avenue, which is a one-way residential street. This benefits the loading and unloading process by reducing vehicle conflicts by eliminating traffic approaching the buses. At Sullivant Elementary, children load/unload busses off the public roadway at a private driveway east of the building. Students are picked up/dropped off by the school bus on Central Avenue and Town Street at Starling Middle School. The following table compares enrollment information with bussed students and potential walkers or bikers. Table 6 – Number of Bused Students

Elementary Elementary Middle Total
Enrollment 403 219 387 1009
Bussed Students 104 127 167 398
Potential Walkers/Bikers 299 92 220 611 Approximately 40-percent of the students in the Franklinton schools are bused to/from school. The majority of students attending Sullivant Elementary School use school transportation and only about 25-percent of Dana Elementary School students ride the bus. Therefore, over 60-percent of students in the Franklinton Community are potential walkers or bike riders. Based on information obtained through the public involvement process, the majority of students currently do not walk/bike to/from school for a variety of reasons including; sidewalk conditions, traffic conditions, and personal safety. These issues are further identified in Section 7. In order to gauge effectiveness of recommended solutions, the in-class “Safe Routes to School Student Arrival and Departure Sheet” was attempted to be distributed to the schools; however, the Teacher’s Union would not agree to perform the surveys as they were not curriculum related. An alternative method was used to obtain quantifiable data describing current travel modes and patterns of non-bused school children. Pedestrian and bicyclist counts were conducted at numerous locations near Dana Elementary, Sullivant Elementary, and Starling Middle Schools during arrival and dismissal periods. Counts were conducted during dry weather and well above freezing temperatures. Count times and dates in relation to school start and dismissal times are summarized in Table 7.

Observations and results of the count survey are summarized below and in Table 8. Based on count data, of the non-bused students, approximately 39-percent walked or rode their bikes to/from school. Nearly twice as many children were observed to walk/ride home from school in the afternoon than walk/ride to school in the morning. Overall, very few children were observed to ride bicycles.

However, nearly half of the potential walkers walked home from school in the afternoon. The majority of these students have an origin/destination to/from the north. School boundary areas are provided in SECTION 12 that indicate where students live in relation to each school. In the morning, breakfast is provided to students and they line up on the east side of the school on Princeton Avenue for admittance. Parents were observed to drop off/pick up students on Princeton Avenue, Dana Avenue, and in the school parking lot.

Travel Plan
Sullivant Elementary School Count data indicates that the majority of children who are not bused to/from school walk to/from school. Almost all these students arrive/depart to/from the west where many reside in Section 8 housing, west of Sullivant Elementary School. Children not bused or walking are picked up/dropped off on Griggs Avenue in front of the school. Starling Middle School Approximately 34-percnet of the potential walkers/bike riders were observed to walk to/from school. Over twice as many students were observed to walk home from school in the afternoon, rather than walk to school in the morning. At Starling Middle School, the majority of students who walk have an origin/destination to/from the east. Middle school students were also observed walking to Dana Elementary to pickup younger siblings. Students exit on the north side of the building. Parents pick up/drop off on State Street, Brehl Avenue, and at the school parking lot. Fencing around the perimeter controls access on the north, south, and east sides of the school. It was observed that northbound left turning vehicles on Brehl Avenue tended not to yield for pedestrians crossing Town Street. It was also observed that many vehicles on Central Avenue did not appear to be traveling at the school speed limit during flasher times. The Columbus Public Schools currently have a few supports in place to encourage walking/biking to school. Student safety patrols are available at select locations near Dana Elementary School, as indicated below:
Dana Avenue, midblock in front of main entrance
Alley north of school, east leg at Dana Avenue
Alley north of school, west leg at Princeton Avenue
Princeton Avenue, south leg at alley north of school
Princeton Avenue, north leg at Sullivant Avenue
Sullivant Avenue, west leg at Princeton Avenue There is no organized safety patrol at Sullivant Elementary School; however, an adult was observed assisting children at the Greenfield Drive/Souder Avenue/Griggs Avenue intersection. An adult was also observed assisting children crossing Sullivant Avenue at West Park Avenue, near Dana Elementary School. Columbus Public Schools have expressed a desire to be able to increase crossing guards and crosswalks around the schools in the Franklinton Community.
October 2008 Page 11
FRANKLINTON COMMUNITY Safe Routes to School
Travel Plan
School “Walk-Smart Routes” for each elementary school in the Franklinton area have been produced that establish recommended travel routes in order to encourage walking to school. Routes were selected based on providing a safe and efficient route to school by indicating where school crossing guards are located, as well as the type of intersection controls along the route. In response to recommendations in the Franklinton Community Mobility Plan, Dana Elementary school recently conducted a “Walk to School Day” to promote walking to school. The event was conducted by the Columbus Health Department on October 8, 2008, and items such as safety vests and reflective tags were provided and Ronald McDonald attended.

SECTION 7 – BARRIERS TO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
Several methods were used to gather information on existing conditions in the Franklinton area. An extensive field inventory effort was completed to observe existing study area conditions that could potentially influence active transportation. Information obtained is listed in Table 9 and Table 10. All field inventory data has been uploaded to a GIS mapping system and select exhibits were produced and provided in SECTION 12.

Pedestrian crash data for the Franklinton area was obtained for Year 2004 through Year 2006. There were nine (9) crashes involving elementary and middle school aged pedestrians and are highlighted on Figure 3. These crashes were generally spread out throughout the area, but the majority occurred in the Dana Avenue Elementary School boundary area. Total pedestrian crash data for Franklinton for years 2000 through year 2006 has been provided in SECTION 12. Figure 3 – Pedestrian Crash Locations
The Ohio Department of Transportation's Highway Safety Programs (HSP) were examined to determine if any roadways (non-freeway) within the Franklinton Community qualify as high-crash or congested locations. These are chosen based on crash rate, frequency, density, severity, and other analytical factors. Based the “2007 HSP List - Top 400 Non-Freeway (2005 to 2007 Crash Data)”, the following road segments within Franklinton qualify:
Rank #218, US 40 at Log point 10.40 (Stevens Avenue Intersection)
Rank #252, US 40 from Log point 7.87 to Log point 12.05 (West of Franklinton to Glenwood Avenue)
October 2008 Page 14
FRANKLINTON COMMUNITY Safe Routes to School
Travel Plan
Rank #259, US 62 from Log point 11.87 to Log point 12.30 (Mound Street to I-70 Exit Ramp)
Based on the “2007 Hot Spot Non-Freeway List (2005-2007 Crash Data)” the following road segments within Franklinton qualify:
Rank #36, US 40 from Log point 10.00 to Log point 12.00 (I-70 Eastbound Ramps to Glenwood Avenue)
Rank #195, US 62 from Log point 12.00 to Log point 14.00 (I-70 Overpass to Starling Street)
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) recently prepared a publication for the City of Columbus that identifies pedestrian and bicycle crash “hot spots” within the City of Columbus. The “Walkable Streets, Measuring Pedestrian Safety, Report 1, Columbus Trends and Hot Spot Identification” report dated April 2007 identifies locations based on crash information for years 2000-2004. Broad Street has been ranked #1 as the overall highest rate-per-mile for: total crashes, pedestrian crashes, bicycle crashes, crashes resulting children under 15 and crashes resulting in fatality or serious injury.
The following locations within the Franklinton Community have been identified as “hot spot” locations for bicycle crashes:
Rank #9, West Broad Street at Chicago Avenue (4)
Rank #10, West Broad Street at Stevens Avenue (4)
The following locations within the Franklinton Community have been identified as “hot spot” locations for pedestrian/bicycle crashes involving children under the age of 15:
Rank #2, West Broad Street at Hawkes Avenue (6)
Rank #8, West Broad Street at Chicago Avenue (4)
The City of Columbus maintains a call center, known as “311,” whereas community members are able to submit a request for city services. Several requests for police action, code enforcement, and community mobility within Franklinton over the past three years (2004-2007) were obtained from 311 reports and were mapped geographically. Figures showing requests at individual locations have been included in SECTION 12. Results indicate a random pattern of requests, with the majority of requests originating from the area west of SR 315 and north and east of I-70.
Perhaps the most valuable tool in assessing current conditions was the input received in the community involvement process. Over 300 comments pertaining
October 2008 Page 15
FRANKLINTON COMMUNITY Safe Routes to School
Travel Plan
to the Franklinton Community were received throughout the project process. Each individual comment is listed in a table in Appendix B.
The public input process resulted in 321 discrete comments about conditions in the Franklinton Study Area. Comments were grouped by location and categorized by type of issue presented. Table 11 shows 22 issue categories that were used to summarize the 321 individual comments received and facilitate development of solutions. Each issue category was further identified as relating to either an infrastructure deficiency or a policy need. Infrastructure issues generally require construction improvements to be prioritized and budgeted over time. Policy issues involve planning goals, programs or regulations that can be accomplished at less capital cost.
Approximately two out of three comments fell into the “Infrastructure” category, indicating a need for improvements in the Franklinton Community. All 22 issue categories shown in Table 11 are provided in order so that the most commented-on issues appear at the top of the Table and the least commented-on issues appear at the bottom for each list (infrastructure and policy).
A general toolbox of solutions was developed to address the 22 issue categories and thus respond to the problems identified by the Franklinton community. Solution tools are categorized as either “Infrastructure” or “Policy” according to their primary characteristics and impacts. Solution tools typically address more than one issue category however, and often respond to both infrastructure related concerns and policy issues. The issue categories and infrastructure/policy distinction were used simply for convenience in discussing and presenting issues and recommendations in the Study Area. This methodology was not used to exclude any public comments or potential solutions. Table 11 – Problem Statement Infrastructure Policy

pedestrian issues. One issue identified was that vehicles are speeding in school zones and not stopping for school buses. Dakota Avenue, just west of Avondale Elementary, was identified as a location where high speeds were observed. It was noted that the roadway was being used as a “drag strip” because of the same direction of traffic flow on both sides of the median. A number of comments pertained to pedestrian scale issues at or near school locations such as sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, and lighting. It was noted that crosswalk paint is faded and barely visible near Avondale Elementary. One comment was received expressing the desire for pedestrian scale lighting near school grounds. The lack of or deterioration of existing sidewalk was a common theme. It was noted that sidewalks on Dakota Avenue, just west of Avondale Avenue, are deteriorating and that many streets south of Sullivant Avenue, near Dana Elementary, do not even have sidewalk. One individual indicated that mud was collecting on sidewalks near Dana Elementary School, possibly as a result of drainage issues.

SECTION 8 – CREATING SOLUTIONS
A comprehensive solutions strategy was developed consisting of a toolbox of general solutions along with benefits of each solution. Strategies were developed for each of the 5 E’s (Engineering, Encouragement, Education, Enforcement, and Evaluation). Each solution tool is described in detail below. Infrastructure (Engineering) Bicycle Racks
Bicycle racks provide a safe and convenient location for parking bikes in public areas. Throughout the planning process, it was noted that students tend not to ride their bikes to school for fear of theft. To deter theft, bicycle racks should be installed on school property grounds. “Bike hitch” and “inverted u rack” types are recommended.
Crosswalk Markings
Crosswalk markings are used to alert drivers of pedestrian rights of way and to direct pedestrians to the preferred crossing location. There are many styles of crosswalk markings, but the current desired style is “continental” style which consists of multiple longitudinal bars. Crosswalk markings are recommended on all “Walk-Smart” routes. “Walk-Smart” routes are provided in SECTION 12.

Curb extensions essentially move the curb line into the existing roadway, narrowing the effective travel way. They can be applied at intersections or mid-block locations. Curb extensions create inset parking by defining the parking area and reduce pedestrian crossing times and distances. Curb extensions also increase lines of sight and eliminate illegal parking.
Median
Medians are curbed islands placed in the center of the roadway. Medians are used on overly wide streets to reduce the effective travel way and can create pedestrian refuge areas. Medians are useful on curves to prevent vehicles from crossing over into the opposing lane of traffic.
Median Park Extension
Median park extensions are an alternative form of curb extensions. They are the extension of existing median park areas into the pavement area in order to define pedestrian pathways. Median park extensions have similar benefits as curb extensions, but provide for more opportunity for landscaping and beautification. Mini Circle
Mini circles are curbed circular islands placed in the center of an existing intersection in residential neighborhoods. They are used to visually shorten long corridors creating a traffic calming effect. Mini circles also reduce conflict points and create a safer pedestrian crossing environment.

Modern Roundabout
A modern roundabout is a circular intersection with a center island and splitter islands on the approaches. Approaching traffic is required to yield to traffic inside the roundabout. Unlike mini circles, modern roundabouts are placed on major thoroughfares and can manage large volumes of traffic. Modern roundabouts are the most effective traffic calming tool because
they reduce vehicle speeds, shorten pedestrian crossings, significantly decrease injury crashes, reduce noise and pollution, and can increase area property values.
Road Diet
A road diet consists of the reduction in the number and/or width of travel lanes. The extra space is utilized for other uses, such as bike lanes, parking, and left turn lanes. Defined uses can be created with paint and/or curb extensions. The resulting benefits include reduced vehicle speeds, improved mobility and access, and increased pedestrian and vehicle safety.
One-way to Two-way Conversion
Converting existing one-way streets to allow for two-way operation can provide traffic calming benefits, as well as improve traffic operations. Conversions can increase accessibility to properties and reduce “around the block” driving. In median park areas, conversions can eliminate “drag racing” indicated by area citizens.
Landscaping
Landscaping creates a visual diversion that has a traffic calming effect on motorists. Landscaping plays an integral role in the effectiveness of traffic calming tools such as
October 2008 Page 20
FRANKLINTON COMMUNITY Safe Routes to School
Travel Plan
roundabouts and traffic circles. Landscaping can be used to provide aesthetic benefits to an area and can be included in traffic calming tools, such as curb extensions and medians.
Sidewalk
Sidewalks are an integral part of pedestrian accessibility. Sidewalks should be provided in all residential areas and should be designed to meet ADA requirements. Approximately 8 miles of streets in Franklinton are unequipped with sidewalk. It is the city’s priority to install new sidewalk on arterial streets, particularly near elementary schools. A sidewalk prioritization plan has been developed to devise an implementation plan for missing sidewalk segments in the Franklinton area.
Maintenance and replacement of existing sidewalk is property owner responsibility, as specified in Chapter 905 of the City of Columbus Code. The City will issue notices to people in violation; however, this is generally complaint driven through the 311 system. The City does not currently have a program in place to assess property owners who do not comply with the notice of violation, but in theory, the City can fix the sidewalks and then charge the property owner through their property taxes. In order to assist the City with funding and enforcement decisions, a prioritization plan was completed for existing sidewalks considered to be in “poor” condition. For purposes of this study, a sidewalk is deemed to be in “poor” condition if it is visually identified as being dilapidated to the point where wheelchair use would be difficult. Detailed criteria for identifying poor sidewalk conditions requiring rehabilitation is provided in Chapter 905.11 of the City Code. Existing sidewalk conditions and priority plan figures are provided in SECTION 12.
Table 12 provides a summary of infrastructure solutions tools and identified issues expected to be resolved with the implementation of the tools.

Encouragement
Walking School Bus
The walking school bus is an informal way to get more children to walk to school safely. The walking school bus is a group of children walking to school with one or more adults. The walking school bus can also take the form of a bicycle train with adults supervising children riding their bicycles to school. Walking school buses can be started by neighborhood parents and can grow to accommodate more students as interest grows. Adult supervision ensures a safer walk or bicycle ride to school for students while students benefit from exercise and fun with friends. More information on establishing a walking school bus is available at the Walking School Bus website (www.walkingschoolbus.org).
Walk to School Day
On Wednesday, October 3, 2007, 2,755 schools in the U.S. participated in Walk to School Day. More than 25 of those schools were located in Ohio. Walk to
School Day is observed throughout the nation and the world. On a selected day in October each year, students are encouraged to walk or ride a bike to school. While the event lasts only one day, communities are using “Walk to School Day” as a first step to create a community that is walkable and safe for all residents. Walk to School Days can lead to enhanced child health and safer routes for walking and bicycling to schools. More information on establishing Walk to School
Day events in Franklinton neighborhood schools – including information on getting partners, planning, registering events, and promoting events – is available at the Walk to School Day website (www.walktoschool.org).
Education
Walking Program
A walking program could be established to educate children on safe walking habits. This program should be developed around school curriculum and rewards could be provided for completing the program. School “Walk-Smart” routes have been produced that establish recommended travel routes in order to encourage walking to school by providing a safe and efficient route to school. School crossing guard locations, crosswalk locations, and existing intersection controls
October 2008 Page 23
FRANKLINTON COMMUNITY Safe Routes to School
Travel Plan
are provided to inform students and parents of area conditions. “Walk-Smart route maps will be distributed to each student at each school in order to educate students and parents on the appropriate route to/from their school.
Bicycle Program
A bicycle program for school students is a way to encourage students to ride their bikes to school by educating children on safe traveling habits. A safety lesson should be held that informs children about the proper ways to ride their bikes and teaches them how to properly cross intersections and other safety issues. As a reward for completing the safety session, items such as bike helmets and bike locks could be distributed.
Enforcement
Electronic Speed Measuring Signage
The City of Columbus recently installed a speed radar sign on Sullivant Avenue, near Dana Elementary School. The sign displays actual vehicle speeds under the posted speed limit. The goal is to reduce speeding through the corridor by raising awareness. The success of the strategy is currently being determined and radar speed signs are not currently proposed in this plan; however, additional signs may be implemented if it is determined that they provide desirable results.
Photo Red Light Enforcement
The City of Columbus Department of Public Safety has developed a strategy to reduce red light running at selected high-risk intersections by installing cameras that detect and report red light running vehicles. A red light running camera is currently in use at the Sullivant Avenue/Central Avenue intersection, just west of the Dana Elementary School. Additional red light running cameras are not proposed with this plan.
School Zone Enforcement
The City of Columbus Police Department currently has a program to enforce school zone speed limits.
Evaluation
Pedestrian/Bicycle Counts
The effectiveness of all solution countermeasures will be evaluated based on pedestrian/bicycle counts. Counts conducted prior to this plan, as outlined in SECTION 6 will be repeated following the implementation of solution countermeasures to formulate quantitative results.
October 2008 Page 24
FRANKLINTON COMMUNITY Safe Routes to School
Travel Plan
Speed Data
The effectiveness of infrastructure solutions will be evaluated, in part, by the collection of speed data. Speed counts will be conducted at or near locations where solution countermeasures have been implemented and where previous speed data information is available. Before and after data will be compared to determine possible benefits, such as lower traffic speeds and/or traffic volumes.

SECTION 9 – IMPROVEMENTS MAPPING
Infrastructure (Engineering) solutions tools have been applied to specific locations in the study area, as shown on Figure 4 and Figure 5. Bicycle racks should be provided for all schools in the area and should be installed on school property. All improvements listed are located within a 2-mile radius of one of the elementary schools or middle school in Franklinton.

SECTION 10 – THE ACTION PLAN
An action plan has been devised to summarize strategy implementation, as shown in Table 13. A detailed phasing plan was developed for those improvements that could be implemented in the next five years. Detailed cost estimates have been prepared for each solution alternative based on current industry standards and have been separated into three categories:
Low Cost = $20,000 or less
Medium Cost = $20,000 to $150,000
High Cost = $150,000 or greater An estimate has been provided to illustrate the potential percentage of students that is expected to be affected by the implementation of the particular strategy. Percentages were developed based on enrollment for each school in conjunction with school boundary areas. Additional influence percentages were assumed for strategies implemented near the public library, community house, and recreation center since they serve the entire student population. The implementation of the Franklinton Community Mobility Plan will require substantial capital and will be implemented in multiple phases. Several funding sources will be pursued, depending upon availability and phasing recommendations. The following funding sources will be pursued throughout the process:
SRTS – Safe Routes to School
Safe Kids Grant
FCMP – Franklinton Community Mobility Plan
CIP – Capital Improvement Projects
ODOT Safety Funds
