ANC2C02 Forum

Today marks the 2008 DC kickoff of the Neighborhood Pace Car program, a traffic-calming initiative initiated by DC Department of Transportation [DDOT] with Federal funding from the Safe Routes To School program.

The Pace Car program, where drivers pledge to observe the speed limit on neighborhood streets, serves as one aspect of a multi-pronged effort to reduce the element of risk faced by our youngest pedestrians and cyclists. This year the program will be delivered through Ward 6’s elementary schools, after Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy Wells is expected to kick it off at Bike to Work Day by announcing a competition with exciting prizes for the most parental participation.
