Overweight Vehicle Permitting Report

PurposePurpose

• ORC 4513.34

– The director of transportation with respect to all highways that are a part of the state highway system and local authorities with respect to highways under their jurisdiction, upon application in writing and for good cause shown, may issue a special permit in writing authorizing the applicant to operate or move a vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified i i 0 09 f h i d C d h iin sections 5577.01 to 5577.09 of the Revised Code, or otherwise not in conformity with sections 4513.01 to 4513.37 of the Revised Code, upon any highway under the jurisdiction of the authority granting the permitpermit.

The director, in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, shall establish a schedule of fees for permits issued by the director under this section.


PurposePurpose

• Permits establish a regulatory structureg y

– To allow the movement of oversize/overweight vehicles

– That strikes a balance between

• Promoting commerce

• Safety

– Of other highway users

– Highway system

Ensure loads arrive at their destination– Ensure loads arrive at their destination

• Impact to the highway system


PurposePurpose

• SECTION 7. The department of Transportation shall study the p p yimpact upon any highway under its jurisdiction of granting permits for the operation or movement of an overweight vehicle or combination of vehicles of a weight exceeding thevehicle or combination of vehicles of a weight exceeding the maximum specified in sections 5577.02 to 5577.04 of the Revised Code. In particular, the Department shall document the use and effect of continuing permits. The Department shall determine whether permitting regulations impose the least burden and costs to a business and avoid placing entities p gdoing business in this state at a competitive disadvantage relative to businesses located in other states or countries.

– ESAL is a measure of damage caused to pavements

1 ESAL = 18,000# single axle, g

• Typical 5‐axle semi @ 80,000# = 4.11 ESALs

@ 100,000# = 12.194 ESALs

25% Increase in weight causes a 296% increase in ESALs

Analysis Method - BridgesAnalysis Method Bridges

• Establish bridge system value based on current costsEstablish bridge system value based on current costs

• Use a system asset consumption approach

– Bridge maintenance – historical cycles usedBridge maintenance historical cycles used

– Bridge Replacement– 75 years

• Allocate system consumption responsibilities• Allocate system consumption responsibilities

• System consumption costs will be calculated for OWT vehicles onlyOWT vehicles only

• Conservative estimates will be used

• Cost Allocation – Bridge Replacement Costs

– Base on an incremental analysis done in the Federal Highway Cost Allocation Study of the costs of constructing bridges using different design loadingsdifferent design loadings.

– As loadings become heavier, the size of bridge members, and consequently bridge costs, must be increased to remain within

– Live Load Moment Impactsp
