Presenter proclaims 2026 Global Youth Traffic Safety Month, highlights senior recognition event

A presenter at the Putnam County meeting described plans for a high‑school senior recognition and tied the observance to traffic‑safety efforts for young people. The speaker noted roughly "50 students in [the] senior program" and framed the recognition as an opportunity to celebrate community service and civic engagement by young people.

The presenter said 2026 is designated "Global Youth Traffic Safety Month," encouraging youth to "develop and lead traffic safety education projects," support law enforcement where appropriate, and promote legislation aimed at protecting young passengers and teen drivers. The remarks emphasized youth leadership, education and collaboration between schools and community groups.
