FedEx Express and the Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundation/Safe Kids Vietnam launched the Safe Kids Walk this Way handover ceremony on Wednesday at My Hiep Secondary School in the central province of Binh Dinh’s Phu My District.
This project aims to reduce traffic accidents at schools located along National Highway 1A, through pedestrian safety education and environmental modifications.
At the ceremony, AIP Foundation and FedEx handed over 3,472 reflective jackets and helmets to all students of My Hiep 1, My Hiep 2, My Phong, and My Chau 1 primary schools, as well as My Hiep and Phu My secondary schools. In addition, FedEx has also distributed 16,000 pedestrian and cyclist safety booklets to all students of 30 primary schools and two secondary schools in the province.
A number of infrastructure and signage improvements have been introduced as well, including the installation of warning traffic lights and zebra crossings in front of the six target schools to make it safer for students to walk to and from school.
