TRANSPORTATION MATTERS for IOWA

Message Monday - Today's homework? Eyes on the road


8-29 message mondayWith school starting, many people are thinking about the three foundational elements of education. Since the 1800s, reading, writing, and arithmetic have formed the basis for sound learning.

Establishing a strong foundation for safe driving is equally important. The three key elements of safe driving are:  keep your hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, and your mind on driving.
