That’s why Gov. John Kasich has made transportation technology and innovation a key pillar of his most recent state budget.

Whenever Gov. Kasich or I speak to groups about the next wave of transportation technology – and we each speak about it often – we are talking about sensors, cameras, Wi-Fi, wireless communication and fiber that today are the cutting edge of tomorrow’s transportation reality. We’re talking about vehicles that can warn each other, and emergency responders, about hazards on the road ahead.

Like the impact of the interstate system half a century ago, this technology will forever transform the way we move people and goods in Ohio.
