31 children died in 2025 because of vehicular heatstroke. Remember, as we gear up for summer in Georgia, a child’s body temperature rises faster than an adult’s—and even within just 10 minutes, the temperature in a car can rise by 20 degrees. Never leave a child or pet alone in the car, even for a few minutes and with the windows cracked. Learn more at https://t.co/reZQbvJ4cc.

Trivia time! If you’re pulled over on the shoulder of the road waiting for help, where is the safest place to wait?

a) Next to your car
b) On some nearby grass
c) In your car with your seatbelt on

If you chose c), you are more likely to get home safely! Remember, when waiting for roadside assistance, ALWAYS stay in your car with your seatbelt on. Your car acts as a buffer should an oncoming vehicle strike the scene—a much more common occurrence than the average motorist realizes. #stayinyourcar #trafficincidentmanagement #driversafety #atlantatraffic #georgiatraffic

A few seconds can save a life. When you see emergency vehicles, HERO or CHAMP units, tow trucks, or first responders on the shoulder, slow down and move over when possible. Help keep everyone safe on Georgia’s roadways.

The Bryan County TIM Team held National TIM Responder Training after their meeting last week! Pairing this training with their meeting is a routine occurrence to ensure it’s amply available to their local responders and TIM professionals.

This initiative is especially helpful, as their sheriff’s office mandates National TIM Responder Training for all their deputies, which is an excellent initiative to keep these deputies safe on the roads.

Way to go, Bryan County! This is an outstanding commitment to organizing and improving TIM in your county for motorists, responders, and other professionals alike.

Today on Memorial Day, we honor those who have served our country and laid down their lives to protect our freedom. Our thoughts are with the fallen and the loved ones they left behind.

Last year 33 bicyclists died in crashes on Georgia roads statewide. It was a 26% increase from 2024—a trend that is unfortunately occurring nationwide. Road safety is a collaborative effort for cyclists and drivers. Cyclists can help by wearing a helmet and making sure it fits properly. Drivers can do their part by sharing the road, slowing as they approach cyclists and giving them space along the road. May is National Bicycle Safety Month, so let’s work together to reverse the trend of increasing cyclist deaths. Learn more at https://t.co/3WRY8j1o7V

This week is #NationalEMSWeek. Thank you to all EMS professionals who serve our communities and endure the risk of helping victims of crash scenes.

When you see EMS lights at a crash scene, victims and responders alike have risked their lives. ALWAYS slow down and move over so EMS and other responders can focus on saving lives instead of worrying for their own.
