October is National Pedestrian Safety Month!

Did you know the number of pedestrian fatalities in Colorado remains alarmingly high? Let’s work together to keep our roads safe for everyone. Here are some vital reminders to protect our community’s pedestrians this month and beyond:

  • For Pedestrians: Always use crosswalks at intersections.
  • For Drivers: Stay alert, especially near crosswalks, and follow posted speed limits.
  • For Everyone: Avoid distractions — put the phone down while walking or driving.

Together, we can save lives. Let's commit to safer streets and honor those we've lost by staying alert on the road. 

Let’s #BeAwareMoveWithCare every day — not just in October.
