HAVE A SAFE AND HEALTHY SUMMER!

HAVE A SAFE AND HEALTHY SUMMER!

Summer is a great time to explore your neighborhood, play in the parks, and develop good walking and biking habits. Apply the lessons from the school year to your daily travel choices all summer long.

 

STUDENTS:

As you travel around the city this summer, remember:

  • Only cross streets at corners and crosswalks.
  • Always wear a helmet when you ride your bike, scooter, or skateboard.
  • If you walk and roll after dark, wear brightly colored clothing, and carry a light or something reflective to make it easier for people to see you.

PARENTS & CAREGIVERS:

  • Enjoy the summer air! Replace as many driving trips as you can with walking. biking, and taking transit.
  • Drive slowly and carefully near schools, parks, libraries, athletic fields, community centers, transit centers, and anywhere else you know that people will be moving and gathering
  • People may be active in the streets much later in the summer than during the school year. Be extra vigilant in the late evening and summer twilight hours as you drive, walk, and roll around your neighborhood.
