MOBILITY MONDAY

Message From Our Executive Director, Greg Stuart 

Happy Halloween and welcome to this week's edition of Mobility Monday! I wish Halloween could be every day. Not for the costumes or the candy, but because this is the one day of the year when we are encouraged to and even rewarded for walking through our neighborhoods. Studies show that walking can reduce stress, improve health, and create a sense of community and belonging. The Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization has invested millions of dollars in infrastructure to make walking and cycling more comfortable, convenient, and safe. These investments are meant to make getting around our region better year-round. Let’s all make more days like Halloween. Trick or Treat!

Halloween Safety Tips for Trick or Treaters

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for children who are pedestrians. More than twice as many children are killed in pedestrian car crashes between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. than on any other day throughout the year at the same time. Drivers between the ages of 15-25 accounted for nearly one-third of all fatal crashes involving child pedestrians on Halloween. Here are some tips to keep your little ones safe this Halloween.


  • Wear bright clothes. If your child’s costume is dark, carry lighted lanterns, and make sure they wear reflectors, particularly on their shoes.


  • Always cross in crosswalks and make sure you and your children look every which way before you cross the street. Do not jaywalk. 


  • Use a flashlight to show drivers where you are at all times.


  • Always warn your children not to get into the car of anyone they do not already know well. Give them a cell phone to use in case of an emergency. Make sure the adult they are trick or treating with has one too.
