Today I shared a blog post on the Partnership to Save Highway Communities’ website on the people of Ohio’s reaction to the Ohio Department of Transportation’s plan to explore the commercial development of certain rest areas.

The Partnership to Save Highway Communities is a coalition of associations, corporations, small businesses and other stakeholders that share a common goal: preserving the valuable relationships between interstate highway motorists and community businesses serving their needs.

As I wrote in my post, “The people of Ohio have spoken and they don’t want commercial rest areas. ODOT should listen to what its voting constituents have to say and act accordingly.”
