New Tech in School Buses, National Bike Month Discounts, Minimizing the Threat of Terrorism








Highlights APRIL 2018

May is National Bike Month, sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists and celebrated in communities from coast to coast. As an avid cyclist, I like to promote this month as a public service. There are a lot of people, vehicles, and hazards on the road. This month, please be especially aware of your surroundings and safely share the road with pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcycles, automobiles, school buses, and everyone else trying to get from his/her “Point A” to “Point B.”
