Monroe County STOP DWI & Traffic Safety

10/20/2026

EVERY JOURNEY MATTERS. EVERY CHILD COUNTS.
Monroe County is working to help children and families feel more confident and prepared to safely walk, bike, and roll to school, recreation areas, and other everyday destinations.

The Monroe County Walk and Roll Program is being developed with schools, educators, families, and community partners to identify safety concerns, barriers, and opportunities to support safer walking, biking, and rolling for children across the County.

We want to hear from parents and caregivers.

Take the Guardian/Caregiver Survey and share your experiences and ideas to help shape the program.

New drivers need more than a license — they need a game plan. Share with the teens in your life and help them make smart choices behind the wheel. Remind them to drive like their life depends on it🪪✔️

"A recent national survey asked over 3,500 people why they think people illegally pass a stopped school bus (Wright et al., under review-a). ...the top four reported reasons were that violators:

Didn’t care (30.5%)
Were in a hurry (25.5%)
Didn’t know the law (24.3%)
Were distracted (12.2%)."

It was so great to join Brockport Central School District for their Walk to School day event! Definitely one of the best we have gone to and a great model for other school districts.
We shared the Safe Routes to School program we're working on and encouraged community participation. Please help direct our curriculum based on your own experiences! https://www.monroecounty.gov/walkroll

Happy International Coffee Day! ☕ Grabbing a cup is a great way to celebrate responsibly — but remember: coffee and energy drinks ⚡ do not sober you up or cure drowsiness.

If you are impaired or tired, do not drive. 🚫 Pull over safely if you begin to feel sleepy; a nap is more effective for drowsiness. 😴 When alcohol or drugs are involved, time is the only cure for impairment. ⏳
