See and Be Seen

Fall and Winter means shorter days, longer nights, and more darkness. WWU Sustainable Transportation and other sponsors are launching the "See and Be Seen" safety campaign to education and equip pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists with what they need to be safe on the road. Tomorrow, November 4th, there will be a "Seen and Be Seen" info table in front of the Viking Union where you can pick up free lights, safety tips, reflective materials and coupons for lights. For more info, check out this piece in Western Today. And remember to See and be Seen!
