Ohio's Slanted Pavement

6 March 2003 - 2:00pm

How Ohio's highway spending shortchanges cities and suburbs.

"In Ohio, and some other states, state transportation dollars flow to localities on the basis of neither of these standards for revenue distribution. The result in Ohio is a spatially skewed pattern of state transportation spending that is essentially anti-city and even anti-suburb. In effect, funds are diverted away from the very places that struggle with the greatest transportation needs and pay the most in gas taxes."
