ITD launches annual winter safety campaign in advance of Thanksgiving travel
BOISE – As winter weather rolls into Southwest Idaho, the Idaho Transportation
Department is launching the annual winter safety campaign "Idaho Ready" to help drivers prepare for challenging conditions on the
state's highways.
The campaign offers
information via Facebook, Twitter and a web page that helps drivers
safely arrive at their destinations.
“Short videos will
present information on using Idaho’s 511 Traveler Information system as a resource before heading out on the highway,
how to maintain your vehicle during winter months, and driving safely
in winter conditions,” said Reed Hollinshead with ITD's Office of Communication. “Important safety information will be posted regularly to Facebook,
Twitter, and the 'Idaho Ready' web page. New information this year will address new drivers on Idaho roads — those who recently moved here or have recently been licensed.”
Follow ITD’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/IdahoTransportationDepartment, or the department’s Twitter account, @IdahoITD.
Drivers are also encouraged to check the new and improved Idaho 511 Traveler Information website at 511.idaho.gov for the latest road conditions and for updates as those conditions change.
