State Leaders Walking Back Plan to Close All Rest Stops

State leaders are walking back a plan to close all rest stops along Pennsylvania highways. Following a plea from the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, PennDOT officials decided to reopen 13 of the state’s 30 rest areas for truck drivers carrying cargo through the commonwealth. Each of the locations will have its parking lots open at night to allow drivers to get some sleep. Indoor facilities will remain closed and a bank of five portable toilets will be positioned there, with each cleaned daily.
