Norfolk Southern Airline Rail Yard Project:
Expansion plans for the Airline intermodal facility in Toledo. Plans include an extended intermodal ramp, new siding tracks, and routing changes for trains entering the yard. Improvements will potentially increase freight movement capacity and alleviate rail yard congestion.

Bike Related Maps

Regional Bicycle Facilities:
Includes bike paths, bike lanes, and signed bike routes. Proposed path segments are shown for path continuity.

Existing and Proposed Bicycle Facilities:
Existing and proposed bike facilities in the TMACOG planning area.

Westside Rail Corridor:
The Westside Rail Corridor in Lucas and Wood counties is a remnant of the old Toledo Terminal rail corridor that formed a loop around the City of Toledo.

ODOT District 2 Safety Priority Locations, Fiscal Year 2010
The Ohio Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Programs are administered by the Office of Systems Planning and Program Management and the District Safety Coordinators in each region of the state. The Program focuses on freeway and non-freeway, high-crash and congested locations. Each year, ODOT prioritizes these locations for improvements using available funding. The three programs detailed on this map for Fiscal Year 2010 are the Highway Safety Program (HSP), Safety Hot Spot Locations, and Congestion Locations.

Highway Functional Classification System for TMACOG Area:
Functional Classification is the grouping of roads, streets, and highways in a hierarchy based on the type of highway service they provide. Streets and highways do not operate independently. They are part of an interconnected network, and each one performs a service in moving traffic throughout the system. Generally, streets and highways perform two types of service. They provide either traffic mobility or land access and can be ranked in terms of the proportion of service they perform.
