The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT; /ˈoʊ.dɒt/) is the administrative department of the Ohio state government^[2] responsible for developing and maintaining all state and U.S. roadways outside of municipalities and all Interstates except the Ohio Turnpike. In addition to highways, the department also helps develop public transportation and public aviation programs. ODOT is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Formerly, under the direction of Michael Massa, ODOT initiated a series of interstate-based Travel Information Centers, which were later transferred to local sectors. The Director of Transportation is part of the Governor's Cabinet.^[3]

ODOT has divided the state into 12 regional districts to facilitate development. Each district is responsible for the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of the state and federal highways in its region.^[4] The department employs nearly 5,000 people and has an annual budget approaching $3 billion.^[1] It celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2005 and its 35th as the Ohio Department of Transportation in 2007.^[5]
