Welcome Transportation Colleagues,The unrelenting pace of change and progress is an exciting and intimidating challenge affecting everyone in the transportation industry. Though the need to travel for goods, services, or even for ourselves has remained unchanged over the course of our country’s 235-year history, the means by which we travel has expanded and developed in ways our ancestors could have never imagined. A transportation network linking our local concerns to a national and global economy was never on the minds of the early settlers who founded our home states. But it is in our thoughts every day as we seek the best ways to maintain and expand our massive and impressive transportation infrastructures.

The settlers of our respective states had to rely on trailblazers – individuals who were unafraid to strike out and find new ways to reach a goal first, making it possible for others to follow in their wake. Today, we too are trailblazers of a fashion; finding our own ways through constantly changing progress in areas such as performance measures, data management, innovative financing and sustainability. As we have followed those pioneers in our industry, people will began following our path, believing, hoping, trusting, and knowing we are leading them to a better destination. It is a daunting task, but it is one we do not have to undertake alone. We can learn together and from one another and shoulder the task of finding those new trails together.

With this spirit of working together in mind, I welcome you to the first Mid-America Association of State Transportation Officials – MAASTO. I say the first conference to underscore this gathering under our new name and with it a new identity and direction. Though proud of our history as an organization founded 104 years ago, our first event as MAASTO is an opportunity to revitalize and renew our optimism and determination. Our conference theme, “All Systems Go,” is a reflection of our thinking and commitment.

As director of the department hosting this conference, it is difficult for me to express how honored I and my fellow co-workers are to have you here in our state and in the beautiful city of Cincinnati. We hope you will emerge from this gathering with new ideas, new tools, and new plans. We hope you will feel nothing is beyond your reach. We hope you will take home wonderful memories of this thriving community and all it has to offer. Mostly, we hope you will take with you a sense of connection to others in your industry from which you can draw further knowledge and strength, no matter the challenges lying before you.

Welcome, and thank you all for your participation in this conference.

Jerry Wray Director Ohio Department of Transportation

Ohio Oh...the possibilitiesIt has been called The Buckeye State; The

Heart of It All; The Birthplace of Aviation and the true All-American State. It has produced

numerous U.S. presidents, astronauts, Hollywood stars, inventors and innovators. Ohio has meant many good things to many people since it became the 17th state of the union in 1803.

With 88 counties covering 44,825 square miles, Ohio is the 34th largest state in the nation and is home to more than 11 million citizens. Though it was the leading agricultural state in the nation by the mid-19th Century, Ohio moved to the era of big business following the American Civil War. Ohio’s economy was ranked the 8th largest in the nation by Gross Domestic Product in 2010, at a worth of $483 billion. Ohio is the largest producer in the country of plastics, rubber, fabricated metals,

electrical equipment, and appliances. A leader in the green economy, Ohio has the largest bioscience sector in the Midwest.

The state's agricultural community produces soybeans, corn, oats, wheat, hay, apples,

peaches, strawberries, and grapes, plus sheep, hogs and dairy products.

A number of nationally recognized attractions can be found in Ohio’s larger metropolitan areas. The capitol city of Columbus hosts the Columbus Museum of Art, the Columbus Zoo, and is the proud home of The Ohio State University. The city of Cleveland features the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, numerous professional sports franchises and the Playhouse Square Center—the second largest performing arts center in the country.

The city of Dayton has the National Museum of the United States Air Force, which draws more than 1.3 million visitors per year, and was home

Rich in history, culture and urban development,

surrounded by the natural beauty of the valley that shares its name, and populated with citizens described as practical and optimistic, the state of Ohio welcomes and invites you.

to those pioneers of aviation: Orville and Wilbur Wright. And the city of Cincinnati is headquarters to nine Fortune 500 companies, 15 Fortune 1000 companies, and sports the Findlay Market—the state’s oldest continuously operated public market—and architectural wonders such as the Carew Tower and Scripps Center.

Those seeking outdoor attractions have numerous destinations to choose from: Hocking Hills State Park, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and Wayne National Forest, or visits to Bob Evans Farm or Amish country. Family fun can be found at amusement parks like Cedar Point and Kings Island, or at the states’ numerous festivals and fairs.
