This safety campaign aimed at kids originated in Melbourne, Australia. It recently made its way to the states in a partnership with Denver’s Regional Transportation Authority. The online video is accompanied by posters and other public service announcements throughout the RTD system. This is a fun and effective way to spread the good word about safety, and how to avoid those dumb ways to die around buses and trains.
