Education
The City of Tulsa has joined more
than 200 communities accross the U.S. to implement the
educational campaign - Keep Kids Alive Drive 25®. This program
involves neighbor's cooperation to remind drivers that residential
speed limits are set at 25 mph. The program includes yard signs and
trash can stickers that residents can use to display as a reminder
that speed makes a difference and how important it is to keep our
streets safe by not speeding. The city is working with schools,
neighborhood associations, block groups and individuals to
implement this program.
Five easy steps to mobilize a Keep Kids
Alive Drive 25® campaign on your street:
- Canvas your neighborhood to talk with residents about the
campaign and invite personal commitment.
- Call the Citizen's Crime Commission at 585-5209 or visit the
Drive 25® website at keepkidsalivedrive25.org to order yard signs,
trash can stickers, window clings or bumper stickers for your
area.
- Call the Mayor's Action Center at 596-2100 to register your
campaign area. Staff is available to provide technical
assistance.
- Post Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® yard signs and/or decals
throughout neighborhoods as a reminder for drivers to check their
speed and slow down.
- Evaluate the results. You may need to work further with police
on enforcement issues or with traffic engineers to pursue different
types of calming if the problem continues.
