Good morning, Hocking County. April isn't just bringing spring showers to Southeast Ohio—it's shining a crucial spotlight on sexual assault awareness and prevention. Both Ohio University's Survivor Advocacy Program and the regional Outreach Program are highlighting their vital services this month, from 24-hour crisis hotlines to housing assistance that helps survivors rebuild their lives. These organizations demonstrate how prevention efforts and community support can make a meaningful difference in addressing sexual violence before it occurs.
Meanwhile, transportation innovations are coming to our scenic region as commissioners approved the Hocking Hills Tourism Association's shuttle service connecting downtown Logan with the state park—potentially easing weekend congestion for nature enthusiasts. And a quick heads-up for anyone planning treasury business: the County Treasurer's Office will be closed April 9-11 for staff training, though the convenient drop box remains available for payments during this brief hiatus.

This partnership aims to enhance tourism accessibility in the region, potentially reducing traffic congestion in the park during busy weekends.
