In our commitment to educate younger generations, the Planning & Development Department developed a coloring and activity book that teaches children about traffic safety. One page of the book is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and empowering children to encourage their parents to adopt safer driving habits. This year, we are supporting the Houston Police Department by sharing this video Houston Fire Department - Safety and Public Education - Texting Distracts. Watch The Road! (houstontx.gov) to create awareness in the youth community.
In collaboration with AAA, we premiered the documentary SIDETRACKED, (SIDETRACKED - The Brutal Realities of Distracted Driving - YouTube) which sheds light on the consequences of distracted driving. This powerful initiative aims to educate and engage our employees to be an example on the roads and also the public in general, emphasizing the importance of staying focused behind the wheel.
We urge all travelers to remain attentive and prioritize safety. When you are driving, we ask that you focus on the task at hand. Let's put down our phones, avoid texting while driving, and concentrate on the road ahead.
Together, let us work towards our vision of ensuring that everyone arrives home safely at the end of each day.
Your commitment to safe and responsible driving is crucial in achieving this goal.
