Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski has named May Transportation Safety Month.

Here’s what ODOT’s Troy Costales had to say about it:

“Individuals can take some simple actions to improve their own safety,” Troy E. Costales, ODOT Transportation Safety Division administrator said. “We encourage people to pay attention to the driving task, follow speed limits, watch out for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcycles, wear safety belts and use the proper child safety seats, and make sure children wear helmets when they ride bikes, scooters and skateboards.”
