Ohio Turnpike outlines safety measures being taken at plazas and toll booths

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ohio Turnpike has taken measures to keep customers and employees safe.
Service plazas on the turnpike will see food concession operators move to limited carryout sales only.
Tables and chairs in food courts have also been removed from food courts to eliminate surfaces that could become contaminated with COVID-19.
Janitorial crews have increased the frequency of scheduled cleanings and are using products recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and the National Chemical Laboratories to protect against COVID-19.
Special attention is being paid to touchpoints in restrooms, infant-changing tables, showers, door handles, vending machines, ATMs, travel kiosks, condiment centers, etc.
The interior design of the Service Plaza facilities has several features that assist with physical separation and reduce the spread of viral and bacterial infection.
These include barrier-free entrances to public restrooms, touch-free flush components; touchless faucets and hand dryers; soap and towel dispensers; and hand-sanitizing stations.
The Service Plazas also have open floor plans that promote social distancing and provide proper ventilation.
Toll Collectors collect approximately 35 percent of tolls by cash or credit.
To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Toll Plaza personnel have been provided with nitrile gloves, hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes for their mandatory use.
For the safety of employees and customers, the Ohio Turnpike is encouraging customers to use E-ZPass or a credit card (not cash) to make toll payments.
