🎃👻 It’s the spookiest week of the year, but being unprepared is even scarier! 😱 Make a plan, build your emergency kit, and sign up for Ready Harris Alerts so you know what’s up when it matters. 🚨 Stay ready and keep your loved ones safe! Get prepared: ReadyHarris.org.
Even the tiniest Texans appreciate active transportation! Now is a great time to get out and get active. Consider starting your day by walking or biking to boost your health and mood. Just remember to do it safely! #TxDOTBikePed
October is National Pedestrian Safety Month! 🚶🌙
Now that it gets dark earlier, make sure to stay alert and look out for each other.

During this last week of Pedestrian Safety Month, save and share this quick guide to stay SAFE.🚶➡️🚘

ALT This image is a safety poster divided into two sections. The top section, titled "Pedestrian Safety," advises using a crosswalk, following road rules, finding a well-lit area if no crosswalk is available, and watching for cars in driveways and parking lots. The bottom section, titled "Driver Awareness," suggests watching for pedestrians, yielding to them, and slowing down, especially in poor visibility conditions. Various icons accompany each tip, such as a crosswalk, a yield sign, and a slow down sign.
November and December had the highest number of pedestrian crashes in all of 2025. As days get shorter, let's watch out for each other and drive like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe. News release: ow.ly/JAFt5100YIV #DriveLikeATexan #BeSafeDriveSmart
It's Halloween week! 🎃
Parents, remind yourselves that some costumes — similar to puffy coats — have excess material and can prevent a car seat from keeping your child SAFE in a crash.
Don't risk it — change them into their costumes at your destination. 🦄✔️

Flashing yellow lights mean a school bus is preparing to stop. 🟡
Drivers: Slow down, stay alert and be ready to stop. Kids may be nearby, entering or crossing the road. 🚸
Give them the time and space they need to get to and from school SAFELY.
As we kick off National School Bus Safety Week, parents — remind your kids to always:
🟡 Look left-right-left before crossing the street.
🟡 Stay at least 5 giant steps away from the curb.
🟡 Before boarding, wait for the bus to come to a complete stop.
Bicycling feels better when the weather is good! Get out and enjoy the beauty of Fall in Texas. #TxDOTBikePed
Deer friends, don’t forget to wear your seat belt!
Day or night, front seat or back, buckle up for every trip
#BeSafeDriveSmart #DriveLikeATexan
Spot a car on the roadside with flashing lights? ⚠️ Slow Down and Move Over! It's not just for emergency vehicles.
*Check your state's specific Move Over laws.
