“Not only are we calling on pedestrians to make themselves visible to drivers, but on drivers and cyclists to make sure their eyes are road-safe. We encourage children to help us get the message out to the community by stopping by and collecting their vests from store.”

The high visibility vests for children ages between seven and 11.
