It's Halloween week! 🎃

Parents, remind yourselves that some costumes — similar to puffy coats — have excess material and can prevent a car seat from keeping your child SAFE in a crash.

Don't risk it — change them into their costumes at your destination. 🦄✔️

🚧Metropolitan Branch Trail Update🚧
Recently, 👷‍♂️Crews worked on graffiti removal along the CSX tracks, installed new concrete sidewalks and aprons along Selim Road, installed ornamental fencing and paved the shared use path.  ▶️https://t.co/tcIsyL0XPY @Wash_cycle #bikemoco

Kids are most at risk right as they step on and off the bus. Give them the time and space to do it safely. 🚌

Know what each light means 👇 and check your state's stop-arm laws.

[Montgomery County Department of Police @mcpnews]

A stopped school bus means kids may be nearby.

Give the bus plenty of space. Stay stopped while the red lights are flashing and watch for children before you move.

5 giant steps can make a BIG difference.

Teach kids to stay about 10 feet — or 5 giant steps — away from the curb while waiting for the school bus.

A few simple steps can help make the trip to and from school SAFER! 🚌🧒
