Much of PA could see strong storms & heavy rains that could produce flash flooding. Check your local forecasts & avoid unnecessary travel in hardest hit areas. Watch for flooded roads, obey road closed signs/detours & check 511PA for traffic alerts/road impacts from storm damage.

Gearing up for a family trip? RVs aren’t ideal for transporting kids. Try these options instead: Have an adult drive a 2nd car. Use a towable RV. Kids can ride in the passenger vehicle pulling it. Use a RV complying w/federal seat belt standards. More: pa.gov/agencies/pennd….

Public transit is available in every PA county & is just as essential as a vehicle to most transit users. That’s why Governor Josh Shapiro’s budget calls for the 1st major new investment in public transit in a decade to provide reliable service to meet residents’ current/future needs.

Welcome Centers are quick stops on longer journeys, but a Gold Star Memorial is a new reason to pause at I-80 Welcome Center in Mercer Co. Recently unveiled w/the Garden Club Federation of PA, the plaque honors the sacrifices of families of military personnel who died in action.
