The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has been awarded a $345,018.13 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration on May 16, 2023. The grant funding will be used to upgrade the signal and communications infrastructure that will interconnect signalized intersections and proposed communications node sites with the updated central traffic signal system (CTSS) software and traffic management center. This project falls under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), which provides federal assistance for constructing, preserving, and improving highways and related transportation facilities.

Additionally, the City of Columbus's Transportation Division has received a federal sub-grant from ODOT to perform various traffic control and safety improvements within the city. These sub-grant funded activities include upgrading traffic signals, adding turn lanes at intersections, building new sidewalks and crosswalks, constructing protected bike lanes, and widening roads by adding extra lanes to improve capacity and safety for all transportation modes.
