May is motorcycle safety awareness month. Did you know that 6,228 motorcyclists were killed in traffic crashes in 2024, which represents 15% of all traffic fatalities. Slow down, follow traffic laws, and if you’re riding, always wear a helmet.

We are excited to announce that three new members are joining MORPC! Join us in welcoming the Village of Commercial Point, Pleasant Township, and Delaware Public Health District.

Did you know some Central Ohio homeowners may qualify for free home repairs and energy upgrades? MORPC programs can help make homes safer, more efficient, and more affordable. Learn more: myfox28columbus.com/features/good-…

During Bike Safety Month, take a moment to learn the rules of the road. In Ohio, drivers are required to give cyclists at least 3 feet of space when passing. Slowing down, staying alert, and sharing the road helps keep everyone safe. 🚲

May is Clean Air Month & a reminder that how we move matters. Del-Co Transit is setting the bar high- ranking top 3 in the country for similar‑sized systems after a 36% increase in 2025. More people choosing transit means fewer cars on the road and healthier air.
