Already planning this year’s Halloween costume? Getting a head start means more time to find or create the perfect costume and make sure it’s safe for your little ghoul or goblin, too!

When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls, and choose styles that don’t obstruct your child’s vision. Plan your costumes with visibility in mind so we can keep our little ghouls and goblins safe while they have fun!

SKRC had a great turn out today for Walk to School Day with Loflin Elementary. Thank you to all who participated.

Tomorrow is International Walk to School Day - a reminder that we share our streets and neighborhoods with our most vulnerable road users, kids! Take some time today to talk to the children in your life about being safe while walking to and from school. Whether your planning to take part in a Walk to School Day event tomorrow or not, remind them to look left, right, and left again before crossing the street. Always walk on sidewalks or paths, cross at street corners, and use traffic signals and crosswalks.

Parents and caregivers do not understand the dangers either. Being on train tracks is not only dangerous, but illegal. That means you should not use them for photo shoots, play areas, etc.

Trains are faster and quieter than you might think 🚆

This See Tracks? Think Train Week, we're calling on everyone to walk safely near train tracks!
More than 2,300 people are injured or killed annually in railroad crossing and trespass incidents in North America. The only safe place to cross tracks is at designated public crossings with a crossbuck, flashing red lights or a gate. Crossing anywhere else is illegal.

Take some time today to check out our railroad safety tips: https://www.safekids.org/railroad-safety

There’s one more level in our safety game: ride in the back seat until age 13. We don’t want to skip any levels and our young rider is no match for a vehicle’s frontal airbag. Staying in the back seat is an automatic win every ride.

Hay un nivel más en nuestro juego de seguridad: viajar en el asiento trasero hasta los 13 años. No queremos olvidar ningún nivel, y nuestro joven pasajero no está preparado para resistir el impacto del airbag frontal del vehículo. Viajar en el asiento trasero es una victoria asegurada en cada trayecto.

These Buckle Bros finally pass the seat belt fit test. Sitting all the way back in the vehicle seat with their knees bent over the edge, feet flat on the floor, shoulder belt on the chest, lap belt on the hips, and holding steady the whole ride— that's 6-for-6, no cheat codes needed.

Estos Buckle Bros por fin superan la prueba de ajuste del cinturón de seguridad. Sentados bien atrás en el asiento del vehículo, con las rodillas flexionadas sobre el borde, los pies apoyados en el suelo, la banda diagonal sobre el pecho, la banda ventral sobre las caderas y manteniéndose quietos durante todo el trayecto - sin necesidad de trucos.
