These Are the Best (and Worst) U.S. Destinations for Public Bathroom Access
If you are a Type A travel planner, you know there is more to consider than making sure you get through your lists of restaurants to try and sights to see. And one of the most important things to plan for is where you will be able to use the bathroom when out and about. But if you are traveling in the United States, the answer may be difficult. That's because the U.S. faces a public bathroom shortage, according to a new study from Tena, an adult incontinence brand. In fact, for every 100,000 people, there are just eight public bathrooms. (And if you've ever had to wait in a long line for a restroom, you can begin to understand just how dismal that statistic really is.) To help travelers who don't want to factor in midday returns to their hotel for bathroom breaks, Tena ranked the best cities and states for public bathroom access, factoring bathroom cleanliness, wheelchair accessibility, overall density of public restrooms, and discoverability of the public restrooms. And there were some clear winners: Wyoming, Montana, and Hawaii offer the best overall public restroom access in the U.S. Wyoming offers one of the largest caches of public restrooms with an average of 118 public bathrooms appearing on state-level map searches. These are mostly easy to find, spaced out, and well reviewed. Plus, the state ranks No. 1 for having the most wheelchair-accessible bathrooms in the country. Montana similarly scored well, in part because Visit Montana offers a list of public restrooms available across the whole state, making them ultra easy for visitors and locals to find. For its part, Hawaii has an abundance of public restrooms with the island of Oahu alone boasting more than 215 state-maintained public bathrooms. However, only 120 appear on Google Maps for the entire state, meaning finding the restrooms may require a bit more local insight. When it comes to overall cleanliness, North Dakota's public restrooms came in first place. Overall, 94 percent of the bathrooms analyzed in the state had a rating of four stars or higher. Alaska, Indiana, and New Mexico also scored high, each with 88 percent of bathroom reviews at four stars or above. The study's least impressive states were New Hampshire and Kentucky, each of which had a low number of public restrooms available (No. 11 and No. 20, respectively). These are the top five states for public restroom: 1. Wyoming2. Montana3. Hawaii4. Oregon5. Idaho

This Mass. city ranked among the lowest for public restroom access, cleanliness
Easy access to public restrooms affects travelers, commuters, delivery workers and more, yet there's a growing concern of their availability. To better understand the scale of the problem, the health and hygiene brand, Tena, conducted research to find out which U.S. states and cities have the most 'discoverable public bathrooms,' according to the report. The scores for each location were based on four key factors including how discoverability, density, cleanliness and accessibility. The company found that Cranston, Rhode Island, Essex, Vermont and Evansville, Indiana ranked the lowest overall scores. This was because none of them were discoverable on public maps, which cause all locations to score a 0 across all categories. 'While this doesn't necessarily mean there are no public restrooms in these cities, it does highlight the impact of missing or inaccurate tags,' Tena explained. 'It's a reminder of how essential proper listing is for helping people quickly find facilities when they need them.' The Massachusetts city of Worcester didn't fare well either. That city had a discoverability score of 0, an estimated density score of 1, a cleanliness score of 0, and received a 0 in accessible bathrooms. Overall, Massachusetts scored a 7 in discoverability, 3 in estimated density, a 6 in cleanliness and a 4 in accessibility. Other cities that ranked low on the list include: Stamford, Connecticut Bridgeport, Connecticut Meridian, Idaho Lexington, Kentucky Bellevue, Nebraska Wilmington, Delaware Tena also listed some of the top cities when it comes to high quality and quantity public restrooms. Those were Pierre, South Dakota, Helena Montana and Hilo, Hawaii. 'One commonality between these top three cities is their smaller population size: all under 50,000,' the company wrote. 'This may make it easier to identify and tag public bathrooms on map apps compared to larger cities with more complex infrastructures. Still, ensuring visibility in bigger cities remains just as important, given the higher demand and greater number of people navigating public spaces daily.' Other cities that ranked high overall were: San Francisco, California Seattle, Washington Orlando, Florida Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Miami, Florida Honolulu, Hawaii Los Angeles, California.

Blowout leads to crash in death of Odessa woman
ANDREWS COUNTY, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating a crash that left an Odessa woman dead Tuesday evening. According to a crash report, around 6:11 p.m. on February 4, troopers responded to a single-vehicle crash on State Highway 176 near Mile Marker 271. Investigators said 28-year-old Leslie Tena, of Odessa, was driving a Land Rover SUN in the eastbound lane when the left tire suffered a blowout and caused the vehicle to veer left across SH 176. Troopers said the vehicle then veered into a ditch, struck a barbed wire fence, and rolled. Tena, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected when the vehicle rolled. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation into the crash is ongoing. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
