“Buckle up, phone down…” 🎶 Yep, we know it’s probably stuck in your head now. But if our jingle is going to stick with you, we might as well make sure the message does as well: Buckle up, put the phone down, and keep your eyes on the road. #BUPDDay

During this last week of Pedestrian Safety Month, save and share this quick guide to stay SAFE.🚶‍➡️🚘
This image is a safety poster divided into two sections. The top section, titled "Pedestrian Safety," advises using a crosswalk, following road rules, finding a well-lit area if no crosswalk is available, and watching for cars in driveways and parking lots. The bottom section, titled "Driver Awareness," suggests watching for pedestrians, yielding to them, and slowing down, especially in poor visibility conditions. Various icons accompany each tip, such as a crosswalk, a yield sign, and a slow down sign.

Voting is the bedrock of our democracy, and every Kentuckian should be able to have their voice heard. If you don't have an accepted ID ahead of the Nov. 3 election, you can visit a @KYTC regional driver licensing office to secure a voter ID for free. ➡️ tinyurl.com/bdz2pjpx

Welcome to another Friday Flashback, where we check out oiled roads! 🛢️ Back in the days of dirt roads, crews sprayed oil to act as a binder and help control dust and bind loose particles together, creating a more stable, less dusty road. #KYTCFlashback

Widespread rainfall totals <1.5" are expected with isolated higher amounts of 2-5" possible within the yellow outlined area. Lesser potential for these isolated totals exists in the white outlined area. Rain could be heavy at times within storms. Take care and enjoy the rain!
A probability map of more than an inch of rain is displayed along with two outlined areas discussed on the graphic with potential to see isolated areas of 2-5 inches. A primary wave of showers and embedded storms has the potential to produce heavy downpours. With this potential comes the threat of localized flash flooding. Widespread amounts of 0.5-1.5" are expected although isolated totals of 2-5" are possible highlighted in yellow. Within the white region exists another area to watch for these isolated higher totals, although confidence is lower there. Take care and enjoy the rain!
