MDTA POLICE PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITIES

AT NATIONAL NIGHT OUT EVENTS ACROSS MARYLAND

 #NationalNightOut

 

BALTIMORE, MD – Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police will join law-enforcement partners and community groups from across Maryland on Tuesday evening to celebrate the 36th annual National Night Out.

“National Night Out is a rewarding opportunity for our officers to meet and build relationships with the many communities we serve,” said MDTA Police Chief Colonel Jerry Jones. “We’re excited to continue to support this worthwhile cause.”

National Night Out is an annual campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and crime prevention strategies to make neighborhoods safer. Neighborhoods host events such as block parties, festivals and cookouts with safety demonstrations, exhibits and youth activities. MDTA Police will display police equipment, share crime prevention and traffic safety tips, and distribute recruiting information.

Officers from every MDTA Police detachment will participate and attend National Night Out events in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil, Charles, and Montgomery counties and Baltimore City. More than 16,000 communities and 38 million people across the country are expected to take part in this year’s event.

Every Traveler Deserves to Arrive Safely: A Message from the Maryland Transportation Authority

This month’s Serious About Safety message comes from Maryland Transportation Authority Executive Director Bruce Gartner, who reminds us that every traveler deserves to arrive safely. As fall approaches, we’re encouraging Maryland drivers to keep their charm behind the wheel.

Bay Crossing Study

With students returning to school and more commuters traveling Maryland’s roadways, traffic can become busier. Stay alert, remain patient, and give yourself a few extra minutes to reach your destination. Whether you’re traveling across bridges, through tunnels, or along local roadways, safe and courteous driving habits can help everyone arrive safely.

Before you head out, visit MDTA’s Harbor Crossings website for traffic cameras, lane closures, road conditions, and other travel information to help you plan your trip. Let’s keep our roads safe this fall and continue to be Serious About Safety.
