Monthly Roundup, February 2022

Every day, we closely monitor the news for stories about vehicle and road safety for first responders, roadside workers, and emergency vehicles of all types. These stories might involve Move Over violations and enforcement campaigns, first responder collisions and struck-by incidents, thoughtful or insightful stories about the future of transportation and mobility, or mentions of HAAS Alert in communities around the world. We post these stories to our Twitter feed when we see them, and now you can visit our blog every month for a summary of all the stories we've recently shared. If there's a news item you'd like us to see or include, you can submit it at press@haasalert.com.
