The pickup truck is used in everyday operations for hauling equipment and supplies to and from intersections. The division's current pickup truck was totaled in an accident in March 2018, which directly impacts the ability to transport material to and from jobs. This vehicle will enable Traffic Signal personnel to be more efficient in the response to traffic signal repairs, installation and preventive maintenance of the city of Toledo's signalized intersections. The Sign Shop is in need of an emergency barricade truck for emergency calls. The vehicle is used daily to haul barricades and proper signs for road closures and special events. This vehicle will enable the Sign Shop to be more efficient in the response of emergency (fire, high water, etc.) closures.
