The purpose of this year’s campaign:
Take the High Road. Share the Road. It Belongs to Everyone, is to heighten motorists’ awareness of the special needs and considerations of all roadway users. As motorists, we share the road with drivers of various ages, skill levels, personalities and habits. We also share the road with pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and vehicles of varying sizes.
Driving is something that almost every employee does --- whether it's business-related travel during the workday, commuting to and from work, or during off-duty hours. But regardless of when, where, or why an employee is behind the wheel --- when an injury occurs, there is a devastating impact on their family and on their place of business.
While we may be alone in our vehicles, we are never alone on the road. Understanding the unique limitations and challenges of the roadway companions we encounter every day, will enable us to be more respectful and considerate drivers.
