Delaware County Community Traffic Safety Project

Every crosswalk is a reminder to slow down and stay alert.

Drivers should always be prepared for pedestrians, whether the crosswalk is at a busy intersection, in a neighborhood, or near a school. Slow down, pay attention, and be ready to stop.

A few extra seconds of caution can help keep everyone on our roads safe.

The Delaware County Community Traffic Safety Project invites law enforcement professionals to attend the 2026 Law Enforcement Seminar. This training opportunity includes Threat Observation Training and other valuable educational sessions at no cost to participating departments.

Registration is required, and seats are limited. We encourage interested officers to register as soon as possible.

🚗 Drive Sober. Drive Safe.

The National Crackdown Impaired Driving Campaign is a countrywide initiative focused on keeping impaired drivers off our roads and preventing crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

Whether impairment comes from alcohol, ma*****na, or other substances, the message is simple: If you’re impaired, don’t drive.

Plan ahead, designate a sober driver, or find another safe way home. One responsible decision can save a life.

Our roads. Our community. Our responsibility.

🚌 School is right around the corner!

As students head back to the classroom, remember to stay alert around school buses. When a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, STOP and give students the space they need to cross safely.

Passing a stopped school bus puts children at risk and can result in a $250+ fine.

Slow down, stay alert, and do your part to keep our children safe this school year.

As a new school year gets underway, let's remember that keeping our kids safe takes all of us — whether we're walking, biking, driving or riding the bus. ❤️

Check out these quick reminders for a SAFE start to the school year. 👇

On Tuesday, August 11, the DCTMA had the pleasure of participating in Chichester’s Night Out, hosted by the Upper Chichester Township Police Department, Lower Chichester Township Police Department, and Trainer Borough Police Department!

DCTMA staff enjoyed meeting members of the Chichester community and providing information about the transportation programs and resources available throughout Delaware County. With games, giveaways, live music, food trucks, and activities for all ages, the event provided a fun opportunity for residents to come together and connect with local organizations and first responders.

Thank you to the Upper Chichester, Lower Chichester, and Trainer Borough Police Departments for hosting such a great community event and for your continued dedication to keeping our communities safe. We appreciate the opportunity to take part in Chichester’s Night Out and look forward to participating again next year!

A proper helmet fit can make all the difference! 🚲🪖

A helmet can only protect a child if it fits properly. Before every ride, take a minute to check the Eyes, Ears, and Mouth rule:

👀 Eyes: Helmet sits 2 fingers above the eyebrows
👂 Ears: Straps form a "V" just below each ear
👄 Mouth: Buckle is snug, with room for just one finger under the strap

Don't forget to measure head size for the right fit and make sure the helmet has a CPSC safety certification label.

A quick fit check today can make a big difference in protecting your child tomorrow.

🎉 Chichester's Night Out is TONIGHT!

Join the Upper Chichester, Lower Chichester, and Trainer Borough Police Departments tonight, August 11, from 5:00–8:00 PM at Chichester Middle School for an evening of family fun!

Enjoy moon bounces, games, giveaways, live music, food trucks, helicopters, and more while connecting with local police departments and the community.

Come out and enjoy a great night with the Chichester community. We hope to see you there!
