Crash responders work inches from traffic to help people on some of their worst days.

If you see flashing lights: Move over. Slow down. Give responders room to work safely.

Lives depend on it.

It’s crash responder’s safety week this week so now's time to remind you to slow down and pull over for first responders. Firefighters, police, ambulance crews, tow truck drivers and even Minnesota Department of Transportation Freeway Incident Safety Response Team (FIRST) all play a role in responding to crashes. Each puts their safety at risk while working to clear roads and protect motorists.

From Worthington and Rochester to Willmar and Granada, our crash responders have been coming together for specialized training designed to help them work safely at crash scenes.

Our Crash Responders are doing everything they can to stay safe. Do your part behind the wheel: See them and be seen. Move over when you see flashing lights or people near the road. If you can’t safely move over, slow down.

Lives depend on it.

Crash Responder Safety Week reminds us: safety goes both ways. Our FIRST team responded to 40K+ incidents this year, keeping our roads safe. When you see flashing lights or a stalled vehicle, slow down and move over. Link in comments to learn more.

Legend has it that some very big bootprints helped shape our 10,000 lakes. Tonight, keep an eye out for much smaller footsteps crossing Minnesota streets. Watch for pedestrians to help keep everyone safe this Halloween! 🐂 🪓

Happy Bat Week! Minnesota is home to eight bat species, like these tricolored bats.

Bridge-dwelling bats typically use the same one for their 20 to 30-year lifespans. MnDOT staff inspect bridges and other structures to help ensure our work doesn't disturb bats or their colonies. This research also supports more targeted conservation and recovery efforts. Visit our website to learn more. 🦇

Minnesota is home to eight species of bats.
