Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Campaign

The region-wide fall Street Smart pedestrian and bicycle safety campaign kicked off at Veterans Plaza in Silver Spring. Officials from Maryland, Virginia and D.C. gathered to encourage drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists to be on the look-out for one another, especially during this time of year with increased darkness. Montgomery County has adopted a Vision Zero Plan to reduce severe and fatal collisions on County roads by 35 percent for vehicle occupants (drivers and passengers), pedestrians, and bicyclists by November 2019.
