Road safety is vital for reducing accidents, injuries, aggressive driving, and fatalities. Stay informed and practice safe driving. Understand the impact of distracted and impaired driving, protect vulnerable groups like children, and support initiatives that promote sustainable transportation. Your awareness and proactive measures can lead to significant improvements in public safety, economic savings, and environmental health.
Why It Matters

Protect Our Children
Initiatives like Safe Routes Utah ensure children can safely walk or bike to school, fostering healthy habits and reducing traffic congestion and emissions.
