The Towing & Recovery Association of Ohio has had a very active year so far. TRAO’s lobbyist Terry Fleming along with TRAO’s legislative board has been working on legislative issues such as SB274 . TRAO has also been actively working on trying to keep its members updated with information that affects each and every one of us as towers in the industry. TRAO has a Facebook page that we are using to keep information out there to our members and is updated weekly.
