Tomorrow 10/9: Watch for Kids on Walk & Roll to School Day

Please take extra care watching for kids walking and biking tomorrow! On Wednesday, October 9, schools throughout Alameda will be celebrating International Walk & Roll to School Day. Some kids and families will be trying a new, active route for the first time.

Also, if you haven't seen the joyous video from the 2024 Bike Festival last May, we highly recommend it!

Safety Tips for Sun Glare

Daylight Saving Time ends on November 4. Until then, the sun on the horizon can be extra bright during morning commute hours. If driving, make sure your windshield is clean, reduce your speed (especially around intersections), and, if possible, adjust your travel plans to avoid sun glare. If you really can't see, safely pull over until you can.

People driving with poor visibility have struck and killed two pedestrians in Alameda in the last few years (see this 2023 press release).
