October is @USDOT's #NationalPedestrianSafetyMonth and with Halloween coming up, it’s important to stay vigilant and promote #RoadwaySafety for all. According to NSC Injury Facts, pedestrian deaths peak on Saturday during dark lighting conditions.

According to @safekids, children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year. We have simple steps for an extra safe #Halloween for you and your loved ones. Learn more: bit.ly/NSCHalloween. #RoadwaySafety

This Halloween, make happy memories, not tragic nightmares. @NHTSAgov is teaming up with officials to help spread the message that buzzed driving is drunk driving. Even one alcoholic beverage could be one too many for some drivers. Stay safe on Halloween night, and every night.

Imagine a day when a car detects when a driver is impaired - and simply not start. Thank you @PattyMurray for meeting with Prez Helen Witty and volunteer Ken Snyder about how drunk driving prevention technology can eliminate the No. 1 cause of highway deaths. #Safetyisnotanoption
