Spring Forward This Sunday Morning! 🌼⏰

Daylight saving time kicks in at 2 a.m. Sunday, when we all jump ahead one hour.

As we “lose” a little sleep, stay extra alert and give yourself time to adjust.

A few quick reminders:

😴Feeling extra tired? Skip the trip until you’re fully awake.

🚗Crashes tend to increase after the time change, so stay alert and take it slow.

🌅With darker morning ahead:

🚘Drivers: use headlights and watch for people biking and walking.

🚴‍♂️Bicyclists and pedestrians: wear bright or reflective gear and use lights.

A little awareness goes a long way. Travel safely and enjoy the extra evening sunshine!
