Ohio Rail Development Commission
The ORDC's mission is to plan, promote, and implement the improved movement of goods and people faster and safer on a rail transportation network connecting Ohio to the nation and the world.
The Ohio Rail Development Commission (ORDC) is the state agency dedicated to planning, promoting, and implementing the improved movement of goods and people across Ohio's extensive rail network (the fourth largest in the nation). It is an independent commission within the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).
The ORDC is vital for economic development and provides key resources for businesses, including:
- Grants and Loans: Administers programs to fund rail-related projects, such as rehabilitating light-density branch lines, preserving rail service, and constructing new rail sidings necessary to attract or retain manufacturing and logistics businesses.
- Safety and Coordination: Provides technical assistance and works with railroads to improve rail crossing safety and ensure effective coordination for public infrastructure projects.
- Infrastructure: Supports the modernization and expansion of the state's rail system to enhance connectivity to national and global markets.
If your business relies on freight rail access or plans significant rail-related infrastructure improvements, the ORDC is your essential partner for funding and technical guidance.
