Illinois Tollway Announces Participation in IBTTA Be Safe Together Road Safety Campaign and Global Road Safety Week
As a member of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA), the Illinois Tollway is joining a new global road safety campaign to educate drivers about the actions they can take to make our roads safer for all users.
The “Be Safe Together” campaign begins with the first Global Road Safety Week, June 24-28, showcasing the tolling industry’s commitment to safety through our work to build and maintain safe roads and emphasizing to drivers that the little choices they make at each step of their journey can make a real difference in others’ lives.
“The Illinois Tollway’s highest priority is protecting our customers, roadway workers and everyone who uses or works along our roads, but we know to accomplish that goal we need drivers to work with us by focusing on driving safely every time they get behind the wheel,” said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Cassaundra Rouse. “We’re pleased to join in this first-of-its-kind global road safety campaign and the opportunity to emphasize the vital role drivers play in keeping roads safe by taking simple steps, including following posted speed limits, slowing down in work zones and avoiding distracted or impaired driving.”
Be Safe Together is a call to action and a reminder that every person on the road, including drivers, motorcyclists, passengers, and road workers, is part of a community of people who deserve empathy and respect. Join us and learn more here.
