In our rural environment, on a dark day, dark clothing can be spotted only 50 feet away. Reflective clothing or lights can be seen from 500 feet away. Help our bus drivers (and other motorists) see you in time for a safe stop. Ask for a free reflective vest or flashlight when you ride Island Transit buses.

  • Cross streets at crosswalks or intersections, under streetlights whenever possible.
  • Use sidewalks or a path instead of the road whenever possible. Walk on the shoulder facing traffic if a sidewalk or path are not available.
