Ohio → New York · Interstate 90 / Interstate 77
Before turning the key for Rochester, New York, out of Cleveland, Ohio, run through the pre-trip checklist: registration card in the glovebox, current insurance card on your phone, working SunPass or E-ZPass transponder for the electronic toll plazas along Interstate 90 / Interstate 77, and a printed backup of the destination address in case GPS reception drops. The locked itinerary measures 452 km (281 miles) with an optimistic estimate of 4h 18m if cruise control sits steadily within the posted limit. Pulling out of Cleveland, the Lake Erie shipping hub and largest city in northeast Ohio, the road eventually delivers you to Rochester, the Genesee Valley city and historic Eastman Kodak headquarters. Schedule departure outside the morning rush window and pack a thermos of coffee to skip an unscheduled stop in the first hundred miles. Budget around $37.81 just for the pump (41.1 liters / 10.9 gallons of regular unleaded) plus headroom for tolls. Outbound reimbursement at $0.43/km equals $194.36 cleared to the driver.
