Department of Transportation Seeks Resident Involvement; New Brochure
Details Opportunities for Public Input  A new brochure recently
published by the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT),
called "Community Outreach Meeting Guide 2013" lists eight main resident
advisory groups that advise the department and the dates and times they
meet. The committees bring issues to the attention of MCDOT and advise
staff of community concerns and priorities. The brochure also mentions a
number of other civic groups that collaborate with the department as
issues arise. The advisory committees consist of residents, business
representatives, civic and community leaders and County representatives.
The group meetings are open to the public and residents are encouraged
to apply for committee membership when openings are advertised. The
brochure lists contact information for each committee. Residents who
wish to receive a copy of the brochure; advisory committee reports or
email notifications of meetings may call 240-777-7155 or send an email
to mcdot.outreach at montgomerycountymd.gov. The brochure is also available
by clicking here

pdf> .

Free Pedestrian Safety DVDs Available from MCDOT 

Two pedestrian safety videos--one aimed at drivers and the other at
walkers--are available from the Montgomery County Department of
Transportation's (MCDOT) Pedestrian Safety program. 
"Drive Safe(r)!: Keeping Pedestrians Safe When You're Behind the Wheel"
is an instructional video designed to teach pedestrian safety concepts
to new drivers.  "WalkSafe! (TM): Keeping Pedestrians Safe in the
"Danger Zone" is an English-language instructional video designed to
teach pedestrians how to stay safe. It is geared towards non-native
English speakers and for use in ESOL classes, but is also appropriate
for elementary and middle school students. The video comes with a
teacher's guide that includes instructional activities. To order either
of these videos, email pedestriansafety at montgomerycountymd.gov or call
