SCHOOL PARENTS STEP UP TO THE PACE CAR CHALLENGE!

Parents from Janney, Murch, and Lafayette Elementary Schools competed in April to see which student body could return the the highest percentage of Pace Car pledges signed by their parents. 

CONGRATULATIONS TO JANNEY ELEMENTARY on their first place finish. 252 Janney parents returned signed Pledges and put Pace Car stickers on their vehicles!!

Murch Elementary was second, and Lafayette came third.

Many, many thanks to all of the principals, parents and teachers from these three schools for working with the Pace Car Program to make our streets friendlier and safer!

Driver Pledge

1. I will drive within the posted speed limit on city streets.

2. I’ll treat people walking and bicycling with respect and will share the road safely with them.

3. I'll give myself enough travel time so that I'm not sacrificing courtesy or safety.

4. I will not be pressured by others' impatience to drive above the posted speed limit.

5. I’ll display the PACE CAR sticker on my vehicle, and encourage others to join!

WABA is pleased to partner with DDOT in this very important community safety project.
