All governing documents require state agencies, including ODOT, to comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. This obligation for compliance includes any and all documents or content produced by or for the department for materials that are current or actively supported as of or after April 24, 2026.
ODOT’s Brand site, at transportation.ohio.gov/brand, includes access to the state and ODOT guides, as well as ODOT’s Digital Accessibility Guidance and helpful supporting samples and templates.
With early beginnings as an advisory commission in the late 19th century, the Ohio Department of Transportation has evolved into one of the premier state transportation departments in the nation. Although our responsibilities have vastly grown, the same core mission “to investigate and build a safe, continuous and connected state transportation system,” lives on today.
From plowing snow in the winter, to replacing culverts and bridges, to advancing large-scale complex construction projects, ODOT’s
brand is one of the most highly visible and impactful state agencies. But we are more than just the vital work we do. We are 5,000 unique, smart and passionate people, working together, improving the quality of life and economy for those who live, work and visit in Ohio.
