The board reaffirmed the Guidebook, Standard Operating Procedure, Annual Calendar, ORIL Research Idea Form, and TAC Acknowledgement Form without modifications. The Strategic Research Plan and Research Idea Evaluation & Prioritization were approved with modifications. The FY2027 Idea Solicitation will be open to anyone from July 31, 2025, to September 3, 2025.
The meeting included acknowledgments and introductions for changes in Board membership effective January 1, 2025. Updates were provided on the OTA Winter Conference, the Conaway Conference, and the upcoming OTEC, all in 2025. General updates on the program were shared, and technical updates were given by the Technical Advisory Committee/Board members on four research projects sponsored by the ORIL program. Due to a delay in the FY2026 RFP Posting, the May Board meeting will be rescheduled as a hybrid in-person/virtual Microsoft Teams meeting.
The 2015-2016 Strategic Research Plan for Ohio's Research Initiative for Locals (ORIL) is designed to provide research support to Ohio's local jurisdictions for addressing challenges within the local roadway system. The plan outlines three strategic focus areas: Safety, Renewal / Infrastructure, and Operations & Business Practices. Its overarching goal is to develop, fund, and oversee transportation research projects that meet the needs of local agencies, ensuring the safety and economic well-being of the traveling public through implementable and cost-effective solutions, with a long-term vision for self-sustaining funding.
