"SAFE ON PCH," WEEK-LONG SAFE DRIVING SERIES AT MALIBU HIGH SCHOOL, APRIL 29 - MAY 3
Lindsey P. Horvath, Chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, is partnering with California Highway Patrol (CHP), the City of Malibu, Malibu High School, PTSA Malibu, Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD), and the Malibu-Lost Hills Station to host "Safe on PCH." This fun and informative weeklong program focuses on safe driving, and will engage students and families in the role we all play in keeping our roads safe to make Malibu a safer community.
PCH is an iconic state highway used by millions of visitors every year, but it is also Malibu’s Main Street, and it impacts the daily lives of every person in our community. This important event will foster a culture among youth, and community members of all ages, of collective responsibility and empowerment for road safety. That will contribute to safety on the highway for all people who live, work, commute and recreate on PCH.
