The city of Seattle's Vision Zero program which launched earlier this year, got a boost on Wednesday morning at the temporary home of Arbor Heights Elementary on Delridge Way SW when the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and Seattle Police Department (SPD) came out to visit.
The goal for both SDOT and SPD is to educate drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists about safe travel methods, as well as rewarding people for traveling safely and following the rules of the road. SDO T Director Scott Kubly was there to to hand out bags full of safety related items to the kids.
