October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, a time to focus on the safety of pedestrians on the roads. It is a reminder that everyone, whether walking, biking, rolling, or driving, shares the responsibility for roadway safety.

At some point in the day, everyone is a pedestrian. When it comes to keeping pedestrians safe, everyone has a responsibility — pedestrians, drivers and all those who use our roads. That’s why Fairfield is working to build more sidewalks and make our roads safer for everyone.

Join us for a free workshop tomorrow!
