The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has announced a new initiative aimed at enhancing roadside visibility for drivers. The campaign involves distributing car safety starter kits to new drivers at road test locations and driver education schools.

The initiative is part of MassDOT’s ongoing efforts to improve road safety across the state. “We are committed to ensuring that all drivers, especially those who are just starting out, have the tools they need to stay safe on the road,” said a spokesperson from MassDOT.

This campaign will provide new drivers with essential safety items designed to increase their visibility in case of roadside emergencies. By focusing on new drivers, MassDOT aims to instill good safety habits early in their driving careers.
