Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming the all R friends community group to our facility. They visited to personally thank our Snow Fighters for their hard work this winter, helping keep the traveling public safe. The group presented a beautiful thank-you banner and spent time touring our facility and learning more about what we do each day. It was a meaningful visit and a great reminder of the impact our team has on the community we serve. Thank you, All R Friends, for your kindness and for taking the time to recognize our Snow Fighters. We truly appreciate it!

April is Ohio Native Plant Month! Native plants play an important role in supporting local ecosystems, improving water quality, and managing stormwater, key components of the work we do every day. Incorporating native vegetation along roadways, in drainage areas, and around infrastructure helps create more sustainable and resilient communities across Franklin County.

How to Drive a Roundabout

How to Drive a Roundabout

8 Minute Roundabout

Since many roundabouts are being constructed in central Ohio, this video was created as a regional outreach program to help you better understand the rules of driving a roundabout and the benefits of having a roundabout in a community. View the full 8-minute educational video that was developed to help you understand how to drive a roundabout.

Remember these 2 important rules of using a roundabout: ALWAYS Yield and Stay in your lane! State Law requires motorists to yield to pedestrians waiting to cross at the crosswalk, just like they are to yield to cars in the circulating portion of the roadway.
