Brake for Bears on April 1

CONWAY—The University of Central Arkansas Police Department and the Student Government Association are once again teaming up to promote pedestrian safety through the Brake for Bears campaign to be held on Wednesday, April 1 from 8 a.m. to noon.

Volunteers and UCA Police officers will encourage safety awareness throughout the day at various crosswalks around campus by distributing pedestrian safety information and official Brake for Bears t-shirts, while supplies last.

Pedestrian safety is a major concern and this important campaign will help deter accidents in the crosswalks.

“In the spring of each year, we focus on traffic light crossings,” said Arch Jones, director of community services. “This event continues to be a popular and effective way to impact safety in our crosswalks.”
