The Travel With Care campaign revved up Monday, March 18 with an opening ceremony on Samford Lawn. The week-long campaign includes daily activities and stations set up on campus and in the Auburn community to distribute promotional items.
The stations have a five-question quiz for those interested to take on an iPad or smart phone. Those earning a 100 percent on the quiz are entered in a chance to win merchandise from Big Dog Running.
"We also give either a set of bike lights or a reflective t-shirt to anyone who completes the quiz," said Susan McCallister, associate director or Auburn University Public Safety Information and Education.
The campaign, designed to promote transportation safety awareness, is in its fourth year and emphasizes safety in all modes of transportation, from walking to driving.
Travel with Care is a collaborative initiative between the City of Auburn, Lee County Sheriff's Office and Auburn University.
"We have a number of issues we are focusing on campaign weeks, especially bike safety this year," McCallister said. "Visibility is also a big issue for us and removing distractions."
Today, a station will be set up on the Auburn Concourse from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Tomorrow, Friday, March 22, the station will be on the corner of Magnolia Avenue and Donahue Drive from 10 a.m.-noon.
