1 year crashes [ [link removed] ]
Governor DeWine announced [ [link removed] ] that traffic crashes in Ohio significantly decreased in the year since enforcement of Ohio's strengthened distracted driving law began.
Local peace officers and the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) began enforcing Ohio's new distracted driving law in October 2023, following a six-month grace period for motorists. The law prohibits all drivers, in most circumstances, from using or holding a cell phone or electronic device while driving.
According to preliminary data from OSHP, there were approximately 1,112 fewer distracted driving crashes in Ohio from October 5, 2023, to October 4, 2024, compared to the 12 months prior. Fatal crashes attributed to distracted driving dropped 19.4%.
“This is exactly what we expected would happen,” said Governor DeWine. “Ohio's tougher distracted driving law is influencing better behavior behind the wheel, leading to fewer crashes and fewer deaths. Together, we are promoting a culture of responsibility on our roads, and that’s truly something to celebrate.”

reading instruction [ [link removed] ]
Governor DeWine and Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) Director Stephen D. Dackin announced [ [link removed] ] that Ohio was awarded a $60 million Comprehensive Literacy State Development grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The funding will support Ohio teachers in providing effective literacy instruction to help students maximize their reading and writing skills.
Under Governor DeWine’s leadership and through his ReadOhio initiative [ [link removed] ], DEW is championing statewide efforts to raise literacy achievement. This includes schools aligning instruction with the Science of Reading, an approach proven through research as the best method for teaching children to read.
“As all of our schools in Ohio become fully aligned with the Science of Reading, it is critical that our teachers have the right training and resources to properly teach their students how to read using this groundbreaking method,” said Governor DeWine. “This funding will further advance our efforts to make Ohio a model state, both in terms of how we support teachers with the training and tools they need to raise literacy achievement, and how we provide our students with the skills they need to be successful throughout life.”
