Heading to Daikin Park to watch the Astros take on the Twins? Plan ahead, find the best route there, and look out for each other—no texting and driving 📵, drive sober, and buckle up 🚗. Let’s cheer on our champs 🏆 and do our part to #EndTheStreakTX.

🚗 Imagine you're driving on the freeway and your vehicle suddenly breaks down. Would you know what to do?

If it is safe to do so:
✔ Stay in your car until help arrives.
✔ Turn on your hazard lights.
✔ Call Tow and Go.

Tow and Go provides a free tow to a safe location for eligible disabled vehicles on participating freeways. It helps keep you and other drivers safe while reducing traffic delays.
Hopefully you will never need it, but knowing about Tow and Go before an emergency can make all the difference.

An incoming heat dome could bring triple-digit temperatures to millions of people through the Fourth of July holiday weekend. 🌡️🥵

It's a critical time to remind yourself that NONE of these things will keep a child safe in a vehicle. ⤵️

Whether you're facing heat, heavy rain — or both — remember these tips to stay safe on the road. 🌡️⛈️⤵️

Don’t let the summer heat take you by surprise. As temperatures rise, taking precautions can make a big difference. Keep yourself and others safe by staying hydrated, limiting time outdoors during peak sun hours, and checking in on those who may be more vulnerable. ☀️

Whether it’s letting someone merge, slowing down in unfamiliar areas or staying focused on the road, driving like a Texan means remembering there’s a person, and a family, in every vehicle around you. #DriveLikeATexan #WorldCupTx

On two wheels, one mistake can be fatal. If you’ve been drinking, using THC or taking any other drug, riding isn’t worth the risk. Always choose a sober ride. #DriveSoberNoRegrets #DriveLikeATexan

⛽ Make it a habit all year long to keep your gas tank at least half full. When severe weather strikes, you'll be glad you did. A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow. 🚙🌧️ #BePrepared #Ready4Anything

⚽ Tomorrow Night is Game Night! ⚽

Cabo Verde vs. Saudi Arabia kicks off at 7 p.m., and commuters should expect heavier traffic during the evening rush.

With fans traveling into the city before kickoff, now is the time to plan ahead and avoid getting caught in the congestion. 🚦🚌🚆

Public transit, carpooling, vanpooling, biking, or adjusting your route could help make your trip home a whole lot easier. 🙌

Houston is ready for the World Cup. Make sure your commute is ready too. ⚽✨

It's orange cone season! With road construction projects in full swing, there's a greater chance for work zone fatalities.

Here's how to navigate them safely. ⤵️

Think of this dashboard light as your car asking a simple question: "Are you ready for the unexpected?"

Buckle up. Every Trip. Every Time.

Walking or riding this summer? 🚶‍♂️🚲

There is a RIGHT way and a WRONG way to share the road — and knowing which direction to face can save your life.

[TxDOTHouston @TxDOTHouston]

If you are watching the game in person or at your favorite hang out, always keep safety in mind when heading home. Never drive impaired, phones down, seatbelts on, slow down, and be kind to your fellow motorists. #DriveLikeATexas #WorldCupTX

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

Hey, YOU. 🫵
