An important #FathersDay message from me…WEAR A HELMET ! This week I had a bad accident while riding my bike in CT. I'm doing ok and I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at @LMHospital who looked after me but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life. Be Safe

Do you bike, walk or roll in MI? This is our chance to show MDOT what we need for safety. Take the survey by 8/18 and visit an open house near you: 6/20 Dearborn 7/2 Traverse City 7/3 Mackinaw City/St Ignace 7/9 Superior Twp (Ypsi) 7/19 Ann Arbor 7/23 Holland 7/25 Saginaw

I just took this survey, it only took a few minutes. If you bike, walk, or roll in Michigan please fill it out.

Traffic deaths are a systemic problem and need a systemic solution. If we improve transit so that Michiganders have options besides driving, especially when impaired by medication or alcohol, we'll make our transportation system safer for everyone, inc. people who walk and bike.

“There’s this big fear that elite athletes buy e-bikes and ride at 30 mph on the trails. That’s not who I see using them. I see people with MS, with heart conditions, [with] hips and knees replaced… this is just a little assistance to keep them active.” bridgemi.com/michigan-envir…

Don't get wrapped up in your phone. Just drive.

MSP didn't include the number of serious injuries in their press release. Reducing those to zero is part of Michigan's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), but last year they *increased* by 1%, to 5,816. Since 2012, Michigan has missed its safety goals. michigan.gov/msp/-/media/Pr…

Slower streets are safer streets. We can make a difference as individuals by driving with caution, no faster than the speed limit. We can make a difference as a society by designing our streets for safe speeds and supporting traffic calming measures like raised crosswalks.

19,000 people thought they could use a phone while driving without getting pulled over, and they were wrong. 15,000 people thought they could use a phone while driving without getting in a crash, and they were wrong. 56 people lost their lives. Learn from them. Just drive.

Help enhance safety for Vulnerable Road Users by taking MDOT's (VRU) Safety Assessment Survey or attend public open houses to learn more about preventing fatal crashes. Together, let's work #towardszerodeaths on Michigan Roads. #MDOT #RoadSafety buff.ly/4cPMQPp
