And the Ohio Department of Transportation says, while it’s investing in projects to improve safety, safety is in your hands too.
“Buckle up, slow down, drive sober, and drop the distractions. Together, we can make this number 0,” ODOT tweeted.
As of Friday afternoon, the highway patrol was reporting 50 traffic fatalities so far this year, which is 27 fewer than at the same time last year.
