In a continuing effort to reduce
pedestrian collisions in Montgomery County parking lots, teams of staff and
volunteers will be at parking lots across the County this summer to educate
people about ways to improve safety. This is part of a broader education
campaign to educate drivers and pedestrians about reducing pedestrian
collisions in parking lots. About one in four pedestrian collisions in
Montgomery County occurs in parking lots and can result in debilitating
injuries.
The goal of this public education campaign is to change attitudes and
behaviors in parking lots.
If you’d like to help spread the word
about improving parking lot pedestrian safety via social media or through
civic, school, religious or neighborhood organizations to which you belong,
please to see our resources on reducing pedestrian collisions in parking lots. And, if you’re interested in
volunteering to help distribute information in parking lots this summer, please
contact Lorraine Driscoll
in the Public Information Office.
