2017 Eclipse Notice
Be Prepared! Please check the map for the upcoming solar eclipse and keep the following tips in mind for travel in eclipse areas this weekend and for the event on Monday. Headlights on at all times Take extra care during pre-trip inspections. You don't want tire, engine or other issues to worsen an already tense traffic situation. Expect heavy traffic in the highlighted states. Plan accordingly with early departures to allow for the expected traffic delays. Fuel up - top off well before levels get low. Pack patience. Other vehicle drivers are likely to be extra-distracted. Prepare supplies ahead of time. Think ahead about packing food and drinks. It may be difficult due to delays and traffic to find a place to stop for supplies.
