Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrian injuries are a common cause of death from trauma for children ages 5 to 9. Most of these incidents happen during the daylight hours in fair weather conditions. Closer adult supervision and following safety rules could prevent many of these tragedies.
International Walk to School Day
International Walk to School Day is part of a national SAFE KIDS initiative to increase awareness of the traffic hazards many children face on their way to school every day. Local volunteers coordinate efforts in the school of their choice. In 2005, elementary schools in Bedford, Bedford Heights, Cleveland, East Cleveland, Euclid, Highland Heights, Lyndhurst, Middleburg Heights, Parma, Shaker Heights, South Euclid, and Strongsville participated in the program.
