If You Saw Something Would You Say Something?

Whether you’re following your regular commute route or on your way to a movie or meet up with friends, transportation  is a key part of your day.

You are the first line of defense against acts of terrorism on our country—and your help is nedded.

Transit agencies have joined forces to bring you the “If you see something, say something campaign, which provides direction on detecting and reporting suspicious behaviors or objects around transit stations and equipment.

It can be difficult to know what “something suspicious” looks like – but trust yourself when something doesn’t feel quite right.


IF YOU OBSERVE SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR


DO NOT take direct action

DO NOT confront the individual

DO NOT reveal your suspicions

DO record as many details as possible

DO notify appropriate authorities as soon as possible

IF YOU OBSERVE SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR

DO NOT touch or move any suspicious objects


DO NOT use a cell phone or radio in the direct vicinity

DO evacuate the area to a safe distance

DO notify appropriate authorities as soon as possible

Do You Clean The Snow Off Your Car?

You SHOULD   because it's the LAW!!!


In the winter it is important to clear all snow and ice from your vehicle to prevent a hazard from snow and ice that may fall from your vehicle, it also provides for an unobstructed view.


Driving with snow on your vehicle roof could land you a fine and points, but could be even worse if you are involved in an accident because of snow falling off your vehicle the police may prosecute for careless or inconsiderate driving.


When snow or ice is dislodged or falls from a moving vehicle and strikes another vehicle or pedestrian causing death or serious bodily injury the vehicle operator can be subject to a fine of not less than $200 nor more than $1,000 for each offense.(This should give you  that extra incentive to remove the snow from most parts of your vehicle before you set off).

AND Turn On Your Headlights:

A change in the law recently invoked that when your windshield wipers are on, so should your lights.
