Summer Travel Safety Tips
Whether traveling in New York State or beyond, follow these safety tips to keep yourself, your friends, and your belongings secure.
- RideShare/Taxi Safety: Check the license plate, check the car model/make, and confirm the driver's picture. In addition, ask the driver what your name is before getting in. Share your trip with roommates or family so they can ensure you get to your destination.
- Walking: Take well-lit, and well traveled streets. Do not take shortcuts or use dark alleyways. Remove headphones and stay alert (look up, not at your phone). Whenever possible, walk with a friend, especially in a foreign place.
- Biking: Know the rules for the city you visit. This guide to International Bike Safety is comprehensive. Wear a helmet, ensure the bike is working properly, and has lights/reflectors. Have a credit card, photo ID, phone (of course!), and water. Want to bike Binghamton? Check out the Two Rivers Greenway!
