Explore Safety Town Georgia: A Collaborative Effort by Atlanta DOT and Safe Kids Fulton County

The Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) is collaborating with Safe Kids Fulton County through its Safe Routes to School Program to enhance safety education for students at Hope Hill Elementary School. This initiative is part of a broader national movement focused on creating safer pathways for children who walk or bike to school. Safety Town Georgia provides an engaging environment where young learners can master safe traveling practices, including proper street-crossing techniques. LaJoyce Lewis from the Fulton County Board of Health highlights the need for safety education, given the alarming rates of traffic incidents in the area. Nicole Hollis, an ATLDOT representative, emphasizes that these interactive sessions equip children with essential road safety skills. Continuous community engagement and volunteer opportunities are available through the Fulton County Board of Health website.
