Serious About Safety - A Shared Responsibility

Keeping our customers and our employees safe is our number one priority. Our Serious About Safety initiative is a call to action and a movement to build a culture where safety comes first—always. And we're inviting you to be a part of it!

From obeying speed limits and putting phones away, to yielding to pedestrians and staying alert, small actions can have life-saving consequences, but MDOT can’t do this alone. To truly make our transportation systems safer for everyone, we need all of us - drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit riders - working together as partners.
