FMCSA ISSUES SAFETY TIPS DURING THE U.S. 2024 CAPITOL CHRISTMAS TREE JOURNEY
This holiday period, the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is on the move, taking off from the gorgeous Tongass National Forest, Alaska, and heading towards the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol situated in Washington D.C.
It is a long and joyous excursion, and for the sixth year in succession, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has been at the forefront in raising awareness on road safety within the festive season. This awareness has particularly focused on the safety of children & the elderly when there are large trucks and buses on the roads.
You can join in the fun of this national ‘road trip’, discover facts about the tree or even find out the closest place to you ‘along the way’. See www.uscapitolchristmastree.com for a comprehensive list and sources.
THE ROLE OF TRUCKS IN SAFELY DELIVERING THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT
The trucking industry, with its nearly 14.8 million large trucks and buses registered nationwide, is the backbone of America’s transportation network. These vehicles keep the country running year-round, delivering goods, services, and—this holiday season—spreading joy with the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree.
As you travel to visit loved ones or complete holiday errands, it’s more important than ever to practice road safety, particularly when driving near large trucks and buses. Let’s work together to ensure a safe and joyful holiday season for everyone on the road.
KEY ROAD SAFETY TIPS:
- Avoid Blind Spots: If you can’t see the truck driver’s face in the mirror, they can’t see you. Stay visible.
- Allow Stopping Distance: Trucks need more space to stop. Avoid cutting in front of them.
- Watch for Wide Turns: Give trucks extra room when turning.
