Why are we holding a virtual public meeting?

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s office has prohibited mass gatherings and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended using social distancing  to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.  As a result of these directives, ODOT is now utilizing the internet to conduct public involvement meetings, which will allow us to continue the important responsibility of engaging with the public about transportation projects.
