ABC-7 at 4: Tx DOT’s “Be Safe. Drive Smart” campaign
In 2023, pedestrian and bicyclist deaths made up 21% of all traffic fatalities in Texas. Pedestrians and cyclists are among our most at-risk road users, and too many of them are killed or injured in our communities each year. Here with some tips on how to look out for one another is TxDot’s Jennifer Wright.
