Point Breeze

As part of the Serious About Safety initiative, we are sharing a powerful message from Kimberly Sizemore of TSO’s Office of Procurement. Kimberly is also a Mothers Against Drunk Driving advocate who is deeply committed to making a difference after her son was severely injured by an impaired driver. Her story is a reminder of how quickly lives can change and the real impact behind the work we do at MDOT.

Bay Crossing Study

Her message also highlights an important responsibility we all share. If you see something on the road that does not look safe, such as reckless or impaired driving, say something. Reporting unsafe behavior can help prevent serious harm and protect others. Take a moment to watch Kimberly’s story and reflect on how we can all continue to put safety first.
