September 30, 2024

AMARILLO – TxDOT’s number one priority is safety and it doesn’t just apply to building and maintaining roadways. TxDOT staff actively engages and participates in local community events aimed at increasing safe driving techniques for the traveling public. On Tuesday, Oct. 1 from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. at the South Georgia Baptist Church in Amarillo, TxDOT staff will participate in APD’s annual “National Night Out” event.

October is recognized as National Pedestrian Safety Month. TxDOT staff saw this event as a great opportunity to inform residents about safety on the roadways as both a driver and pedestrian. TxDOT is committed and proud to work with the APD and other local law enforcement agencies to promote safer communities.
