Toys for Tots donation locations

Give a child the gift of joy this holiday season by donating new, unwrapped toys for those in need during Toys for Tots.

Donations are needed for kids of all ages and will be distributed by local nonprofit organizations to those in need. In order to have time to distribute the toys, we kindly ask for donations by Friday, Dec. 12, however, donations will be accepted through Christmas.

A little planning goes a long way. Shop early mornings or evenings, avoid traffic delays, and make the season brighter for everyone on the road. Keep traffic merry.

Traffic technology keeps you moving

Traffic is such a routine part of life. So you may not realize how much happens behind the scenes to keep vehicles, bikes and pedestrians moving, especially during the busy holiday season. Learn more about how traffic technology keeps you moving.
