Serious About Safety: Peak Travel Season at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport

With the busy summer travel season approaching, activity will increase across the nation's airports and transportation systems. Higher passenger volumes mean increased activity in terminals, parking facilities, and roadways can bring increased safety risks, making it especially important to stay alert and plan ahead.

Serious About Safety reminds us that safety is a shared responsibility, and as you prepare for the summer vacation period, we encourage you to stay aware of your surroundings, follow posted guidance, and make safe choices that help protect you and others.
