Bus drivers in Fort St. John, B.C., are giving out free pairs of reflective suspenders to people they see walking around in dark clothing in an effort to keep streets safe. "I don't think pedestrians realize how they're not visible," said Fort St. John transit manager Shelley Lindaas. Lindaas said her drivers were concerned about the number of people they saw walking around in dark clothing. They decided they would like to give out reflective gear and approached local business AAA Safety about the idea. Lindaas said the program has been well-received and she hopes it will help raise awareness about the importance of visibility during the dark winter months.
