Give Respect, Get Respect:  Safety is a Two-Way Street.

That's the motto of the Safe Streets Collaborative.  We've been working since late 2008 to build a culture of respect on Burlington's streets.  Now, with primary support from the Governor's Highway Safety Program as well as founding support from the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization and Local Motion members, we're beginning to expand beyond Chittenden County.

Our most important outreach tool is the "Give Respect, Get Respect" brochure.  Designed by a team of students in Champlain College's Graphic Design and Digital Media program, this brochure lays out the rules of the road for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians in clear, straightforward terms.  It also includes a $6 discount coupon for safety gear , from helmets to reflective vests to blinky lights to hands-free headsets!
