Safe driving is a choice. Please take a moment to remember and honor the 194 valiant Highway Workers who have perished on the job since 1921. When you get behind the wheel, remember that a moment of safety can prevent a moment of silence. #DriveSafe #BeWorkZoneAlert #SlowDown

Sadly, more than 6,300 motorcyclists were killed in 2023 — in fact, there were nearly 28x more motorcyclist deaths than car occupant fatalities. 🚗 Drivers: Check for motorcycles in your rearview mirror and in blind spots. 🏍️ Riders: Follow the rules of the road and obey speed limits.
Infographic stating that motorcyclists accounted for 15% of all traffic fatalities in 2023. Features an illustration of a motorcycle with the message, 'Look twice. There’s a life riding on it.'
