Got everything we need for #WalkToWorkDay!🚶‍♀️😃

If you decide to go for a walk anytime, make sure you follow the rules of the road, stay on sidewalks and crosswalks, and look both ways before crossing the road.

Every year in CT alone, emergency and law enforcement personnel respond to 100,000 motor vehicle crashes on roadways. Our first responders have hobbies, loved ones, plans for the future. Keep them safe, #SlowDown and #MoveOver for any vehicle stopped on or near the road.
