🚦 August is National Traffic Awareness Month! 🚦Every choice we make on the road—whether we're driving, walking, or biking—matters. With over 40,000 lives lost each year in U.S. traffic crashes, it's time to refocus on safety and responsibility.

Our injury prevention program, ThinkFirst of Greater Kansas City, encourages everyone to do their part:
🚗 Drivers: Slow down. Stay focused. No texting, no distractions.
🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Pedestrians & Cyclists: Stay alert, be visible, follow signals.
💚 Everyone: Practice patience, courtesy, and awareness.

Let's recommit to safer habits and help build more caring, crash-free communities.
