Commission Meeting

 

Although Ohio is operating a little differently these days, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) is still here to serve you. Over the past month, the PUCO and the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) held virtual meetings that brought together members and commissioners from their homes. These meetings have been and will continue to be live-streamed to our YouTube channel and available for call-in access.

You can find all of the meeting recordings here.

Waze railroad crossing

New rail crossing alert feature for Waze users

Waze has activated "railroad crossing alerts" in the United States, made possible through extensive efforts to incorporate accurate data from around the country regarding crossings. 

Waze users, who upgrade their release to version 4.61, will encounter the alerts when approaching such crossings in both navigation and non-navigation mode.

This feature will help drivers stay alert around rail crossings to help prevent track tragedies.
