Coats off! Keep your kids safe in a car seat. Blankets are a good alternative to a heavy, puffy coat, which can cause the car seat harness to not fit snugly.

[COTA Alerts @COTABus]

Thank you, Central Ohio! Your support in making COTA’s mobility initiative a reality will bring more service, sidewalks and opportunity to all in Central Ohio. We are ready to work together to enhance our community and create a brighter tomorrow for everyone.

Bulky coats can jeopardize a snug fit in a car seat harness. Dress your child in layers and put a coat over the properly-fitted harness for added warmth. #TheRightSeat

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

Keeping baby warm in the winter is essential. Use layers, instead of puffy material, to ensure your child's car seat harness fits snugly. #TheRightSeat

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Today, we announced a historic $729 million investment at Long Bridge to free up one of the worst rail chokepoints in America. Brought to you by the infrastructure law, this money will MAJORLY expand capacity for passenger rail for folks in Virginia and across the country.

Accidents were common before Garrett A. Morgan’s patented traffic signal, which prevented collisions and allowed pedestrians to safely cross streets. Today, FHWA celebrates the 100th anniversary of his patent and honors his contribution to safer roads: https://t.co/Py5neo3yUx
