Overview
Bellingham conducts a Protecting Mobility for All public safety campaign. In partnership with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, we’re taking measures to increase safety and reduce accidents on city streets. Even one avoidable collision is too many.
Bellingham is a community that cares about walkability, cycling safety, and one another. We know that ensuring safety on the streets is everyone’s responsibility. It’s a responsibility we take seriously.
“Travel with Care” is an ongoing education and enforcement campaign intended to:
- Foster safe driving, walking, and cycling behaviors;
- Educate all roadway users (motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists) on safe behaviors and rules of the road;
- Reinforce rules of the road.
Resources
Starting in 2023, Travel with Care messaging in English and Spanish was added to traffic signal boxes around Bellingham to increase awareness about traffic safety. Some examples are below:
