It could be me founder and #CivicAcademy2023 alum Triny Willerton's "Slow Down, Stay Safe" campaign began this week with ads on 10 RTD buses in Denver and Boulder, with digital ads at Union Station and US-36. The campaign will run through November. drcog.org/CAapplication

Our founder, Triny Willerton, is so grateful to participate in this campaign with CDOT. This is the PSA in Spanish. Thank you Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for amplifying this message to reach more members of our community. ❤️ Please share & help us end to distracted driving. #itcouldbeme

"In order to make transportation safer, engineers and policymakers can’t expect much progress from individuals changing their behavior. Instead, the transportation system should be altered to reduce the overall risk people face when using it." governing.com/transportation…

Today should have been Allie’s first day of 2nd grade.

Drop a 💙 for Sec. Pete Buttigieg for the fine job he’s doing in cleaning up the transport mess left by the Trump administration! 🙏💙

One of the top things killing people in #Boulder County and making our community too hostile for kids to travel alone is something we could push back. If we decide to make systematic prevention a priority—something the next city council can and should do. vox.com/future-perfect…

So exciting to see more and more #slowdownstaysafe #itcouldbeme buses.
