Safety Sign Initiative
Making our Streets Safer for All of Us
Through a unique curriculum designed in partnership with the NYC Department of Transportation and its Office of Education and Outreach, Groundswell engages public school students in the creation of original traffic safety signs for their communities. These young people explore traffic conditions on streets adjacent to their school and then create a personalized safety message for pedestrians and motorists. A selection of signs designed collaboratively by the students are fabricated by the DOT sign shop and temporarily installed in local locations identified by the students.
