Let's Keep Students Safe

Back-to-school season is here. As students head back to the classroom, let’s all do our part to keep them safe. Please slow down in school zones, watch for children crossing the street, obey crossing guards, and stay alert—especially during the busy morning and afternoon hours. And don’t forget about e-bike and e-scooter safety! As more students use these devices to get to and from school, take a few minutes to review the safety tips in the flyer below. Wearing a helmet, following traffic laws, staying alert, and riding responsibly can help everyone get where they’re going safely.
