Gasoline prices will have you shaking your head as you hit the road this morning… The AAA average in Youngstown-Warren this morning is $2.96, up 13-cents a gallon since Monday… GasBuddy has prices as high as 3.19.9, but there’s definitely under-three-dollar gas out there.
For the State Highway Patrol, the Thanksgiving holiday weekend fatality count started at 12:01 this morning and ends at midnight Sunday night: the patrol says troopers will be highly visible over the weekend, watching for impaired and distracted drivers and those not wearing a seat belt… 13 people were killed across the state in traffic crashes over the 2023 Thanksgiving weekend.
The Ohio Traffic Safety Office is offering twenty-dollar rideshare credits to Ohioans who plan to consume alcohol, and want to plan now to have a safe way home… The Lyft credits must be used within 24 hours of acquisition, and you must use the Lyft app; a limited number of credits is being issued each day… A $20,000 grant from the Governors Highway Safety Association pays for the credits.
