What to pack?Don’t forget the hand sanitizer, masks, disinfecting wipes and other items that you would normally carry for winter as seen in the graphic below.

Food and retail services remain available throughout the holiday travel days although staffing is sometimes limited due to the national worker shortage.Customers may encounter longer wait times and less options than usual during the holiday period. We appreciate your patience and remind everyone to be polite to those staff who are working to serve Ohio’s travelers throughout the holiday season.
