This week is National Public Health Week! 🌎 It’s a great time to recognize how small, everyday choices like practicing safe walking and biking habits help protect our communities.
😴 Tired behind the wheel? Don't push through! Drowsy driving slows reaction time, affects decision-making and reduces your ability to stay alert – just like alcohol. Being awake for 18–20 hours can be similar to having a BAC of 0.05%. ... See MoreSee Less

Spring outings mean more time near busy streets. Winnie reminds kids to always cross with an adult or a responsible older sibling—especially during times of reduced daylight—and encourages drivers to stay alert and yield to pedestrians at every crosswalk.
📵 April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month According to NHTSA, more than 3,000 people were killed in 2023 in crashes involving distracted drivers. It only takes a second for things to go wrong. Looking down to check a single text at 55 mph means you could travel the length of a football field without looking at the road. And it’s not just texting—hands-free and infotainment systems can still take your attention away from driving. 🚗 Stay focused. Stay alert. When you’re behind the wheel, your only job is to drive. Let’s all do our part to keep the roads safe 💛
