Be the Light – Nighttime Bulletin Board Activity

Bulletin boards in high-traffic areas provide you with a great opportunity to reach your peers. Use the “Be the Light” bulletin board resources provided in your resource kit to create a bulletin board that provides valuable information and starts a conversation about the risks of driving at night, and tips on how to be safe. These materials are designed to be cut out and displayed on a bulletin board, window, or another high-traffic area on your campus(minimum 4′ x 6′ area).

Campus Walkability Tour

This activity will help your TDS team evaluate the walkability around the exterior of your school, looking to see how easy or difficult it is for you to safely walk around and to/from your campus, including getting to and from the parking lot and accessing neighborhood sidewalks beyond your campus. Knowing the walkability of your school can help determine where you should or shouldn’t walk and where changes or improvements can be made to make your campus safer.
