Drivers - buckle up and put the phone away

Effort aims to prevent crashes, injuries and fatalities throughout the 2024 holiday season

As we are in the holiday season, Team Kentucky reminds motorists of two simple actions to take to keep everyone safe on the roads during the busy travel season - buckle up and put the phone down.

"With more travelers and pedestrians on and near our roadways visiting loved ones for the holidays, I'm asking everyone to make the safe choice by staying alert, buckling up and putting the phone down," said Gov.

Kentucky Color: Autumn's End


By Billy Joe Fudge

There's a chill in the air as winter nears. There is also a peace, calm and color, thanks to a soft breeze, a tinkling chime and my Ol' Japanese Maple which has been aflame for weeks.

With sub-freezing temperatures and light snow in the forecast, I thought I should record this late color phenomenon before it succumbs to the reality of the calendar. Short days, long nights and north winds will always have their way with the last bastions of autumn!
