Cincinnati, OH--KY--IN Urbanized Area Congestion Report
In the line graphs below, FHWA uses Data Collection Year instead of Data Reporting Year to represent snapshot condition/performance at the time the data was collected. More information
The Cincinnati, OH--KY--IN Urbanized Area covers parts of Kentucky and Ohio. Targets are agreed upon by several transportation agencies and apply to the entire area.

(Kentucky) Ohio DOT developed the target utilizing data from NPMRDS and INRIX data in collaboration with OKI. OKI chooses to support that target.
(Ohio) ODOT and OKI, in conjunction with OKI's KY and IN planning partners, worked in coordination to analyze actual PHED performance data for the five most recent calendar years (2016-2020), as well as the 5 year average performance over the period. This data was gathered from the NPMRDS database, and is based upon INRIX travel time data. The Cincinnati region's PHED varied significantly over the period, with large decreases in recent years - even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic-related traffic reductions. Since there was so much fluctuation in the year-to-year PHED performance, it was determined that the 5-year average was the best basis for establishing the new 2 and 4-year targets. The average performance was 9.6 hours for the period, so all partners felt that 9.0 was a good target to set for the 2 and 4-year periods, expecting that significant projects planned for the bottlenecks that exist in this region would decrease the delay over the performance period.

(Kentucky) The data for this metric was obtained from the American Community Survey Economic Characteristics table. The targets were set based on consultation with IN/KY State DOT and FHWA advisors.
(Ohio) ODOT and OKI, in conjunction with the neighboring states of KY and IN, worked in coordination to analyze actual non-SOV performance data for the five most recent calendar years (2016-2020), as well as the 5 year average performance over the period. This data was gathered from the American Community Survey's "Commuting to Work" data. The Cincinnati region's non-SOV travel fluctuated significantly over the period, averaging approximately 17.7% annually. All partners felt that a non-SOV travel target of 18.5% was a reasonable target to set for the 2 and 4-year periods.
