HR 617 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution designating the month of October 2026 as "National Pedestrian Safety Month" in Pennsylvania.

This resolution designates October 2026 as National Pedestrian Safety Month in Pennsylvania to align with a similar federal observance. It cites statistics showing that while pedestrian crashes are a small fraction of total accidents, they account for a disproportionate share of traffic fatalities, particularly during non-daylight hours. The bill highlights the increased risk to pedestrians during Halloween and urges motorists to exercise extra caution, follow speed limits, and stop for people in crosswalks.
