@newton_ps NPS families, join us in saying goodbye to winter and welcoming in spring by walking, riding or rolling to school on Wednesday, March 20. @SafeRoutes_MA @newtonpolice

"We just don’t have enough buses,” said Jessica Tang, Prez of @BTU66. Rolling & walking = key part of safe transportation for #schoolreopening. Retweet if your community needs safe routes to school. @SafeRoutes_MA #Mapoli @MassDOT @MassGovernor. boston.cbslocal.com/2020/07/23/mas…

After teaching #PedestrianSafety sessions at Sumner Elementary School in Roslindale, @massdot #SRTS OC Vivian snapped pics of a student showing her father what she learned about how to safely cross at a crosswalk! Book ped safeties with your OC: tinyurl.com/3bdce7e4

Here is to a 2024 of increasing access to protected, safe, and equitable micromobility in Brookline.

@MBTA D line shuttle from Newton Centre to Riverside - can you please relocate this zip-tied sign so the sidewalk remains accessible? This route is regularly used by people using wheelchairs and strollers. @DpwNewton @newtonpolice @NewtonMAMayor

Last week the National Transportation Safety Board recommended that speed-limiting technology be required on all new cars. It’s an excellent idea. @USDOT should do it. My latest in @FastCompany. 🧵 below fastcompany.com/90985257/you-s…

It's that time of year already - make sure you are now riding with front and rear bike lights as daylight wanes. @MassDOTSafety @BikeNewton @SafeRoutes_MA @MassBike

This crosswalk was is of several being installed by DPW's pavement marking crew along Greenwood St, in the vicinity of NSHS. #DPWGetsItDone

It's going to be a little bit easier to cross the street in Newton with 21 new RRFBs. Remember to PLEASE press the button to activate the lights and wait until drivers stop to begin to cross. @DpwNewton @newtonpolice @NewtonMAMayor @newton_ps

New raised crosswalks, bump outs, and sidewalks along Tappan Street in front of Brookline High School.

Join students from around the world in celebrating International Walk-Ride-Roll Day on Wednesday, October 4. NewtonSafeRoutes.org is a great resource to help you and your student find safe, fun, and healthy ways to get to and from school!

DO NOT park in a space reserved for people with disabilities UNLESS you have a disabled parking placard or disabled parking plate. It’s the courteous thing to do, and it’s the law. Know The Rules...Don't Abuse! #StopPlacardAbuse

#PedestrianHybridBeacons give pedestrians safer opportunities to cross at uncontrolled, non-intersection locations.🚶‍♂️ Here's what to do when encountering a PHB!⬇️

Congratulations to all the honorees at this years @SafeRoutes_MA awards ceremony. @NewtonSafe so well represented, including a great speech by Jenn Martin.

Celebrate our Safety Superheroes on Wednesday, June 7. Thank you bus/van drivers and crossing guards for helping thousands of Newton Public School students arrive at school each day ready to learn! @newtonpolice @greennewtonma @NewtonMAMayor @BikeNewton @newton_ps @DpwNewton

With drivers speeding down side streets in city neighborhoods and fatal pedestrian crashes rising across Massachusetts, Boston will soon install more speed humps and add more "No Turn on Red" intersections in the hopes of making streets safer. trib.al/N0OOVDu
