New Grassroots Initiative for Pedestrian Safety
Safety Tip: Stay Alert, don't text or talk on a cell phone while crossing streets.
A new grassroots initiative has been launched to start a dialogue for Pedestrian Safety in the Tampa Bay area. WalkWise Tampa Bay has a goal of providing over 400 presentations to over 5,000 people. Florida ranks #1 for Pedestrian Fatalities according to 2008 statistics from NHTSA. We are all pedestrians at some point, and we must work together to be safe and lower our crash and fatality rate.
If you are interested in a presentation, please contact Julie Bond at bond@cutr.usf.edu.
