Roadway and Ohio State Highway Patrol Promote Safety

Roadway and the Ohio State Highway Patrol partnered to create an educational video entitled "Sharing the Road Safely with Commercial Vehicles," to inform drivers of highway safety. The video provides highway safety facts to passenger-car drivers. Copies will be distributed to law enforcement agencies to use in drivers' education programs as well as to Roadway drivers who make presentations to the public.

Roadway and the Ohio State Highway Patrol have worked together for more than six years to communicate safety information to the public. View the press release here.
