As summer winds down and students head back to school, the Ohio DOT Freeway Safety Patrol, sponsored by GEICO, reminds everyone to make road safety a priority. Whether you're driving to school, commuting to work, or traveling through your community, remember to slow down, buckle up, stay focused, and watch for children, school buses, pedestrians, and cyclists. A few extra seconds of caution can help prevent a lifetime of regret.

The Ohio DOT Freeway Safety Patrol sees firsthand the impact of speeding, distracted driving, and other risky behaviors. By driving responsibly and staying alert, you can help create safer roads for students, families, and all roadway users.

Let's start the school year off safely—slow down, wear your seatbelt, and keep safety top of mind every trip, every day.
