You’re Invited to a Customer Appreciation Event on July 3
Heading out for the July Fourth holiday weekend?
On Thursday, July 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Ohio Turnpike is hosting a Customer Appreciation Event at Middle Ridge Service Plaza, located at milepost 139.5 westbound in Amherst.
The event includes dollar dogs, complimentary food and beverage items, Kona Ice, prizes, and more.
Every safe journey depends on making smart choices behind the wheel. Obey the speed limit, stay focused, and drive sober.
Driven by the tolling industry and powered by everyday heroes, the Ohio Turnpike has partnered with the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA) to promote the Be Safe Together: Be the Highway Hero campaign — a global movement to protect lives and the journeys that bring us together.
Whether you’re driving a vehicle, working on the road, or supporting highway operations behind the scenes, everyone has a role to play in protecting lives and fostering a culture of shared responsibility to improve roadway safety and reduce crashes.
Let’s Be Safe Together. Every Safe Journey Has a Hero.
