October is Pedestrian Safety Month
Take the pledge to walk, bike, and drive safely, Long Island!
It's everyone's responsibility to share the road safely.
Educating ourselves and others about the laws in place to protect all road users is just one way we can go about doing that. Pledge to learn and follow the laws to protect yourself and vulnerable road users on Long Island's shared roadways today!

Advocacy comes in all shapes and sizes. You can play a part in making our roads safer for all users just by sharing your knowledge of the laws in place with those around you.
