The Ohio House of Representatives last week concurred on Senate amendments to Ohio’s transportation budget.
Substitute House Bill 54 allocates funding for Ohio’s extensive transportation system, prioritizing efforts to keep Ohio moving forward.
Substitute House Bill 54 is the primary mechanism for funding transportation infrastructure development and maintenance for fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027. It allocates nearly $11.5 billion in highway construction and maintenance over the biennium and provides funding for safety upgrades on Ohio roadways.
Substitute House Bill 54 includes provisions that preserve Ohio’s vital infrastructure, promote economic development, and boost public safety. It also includes more than $393 million for new highway construction.
“The Transportation Budget is a critical investment into the future of our state,” state Rep. Bob Peterson, R-Sabina, said in a release. “This funding will uplift our workforce through job creation and improve the transportation infrastructure Ohioans utilize every day.”
