Herford District Distributes Glowing Warning Vests to Kindergartens for European Mobility Week

The district of Herford is taking a proactive approach to traffic safety and climate protection by distributing bright yellow mens vests to over 130 kindergartens in the area. These vests, which feature the district's climate protection logo, are part of the 'Glowing Warning Vest Action' that has been organised by the district since 2017.

Every year, around 1,500 signal warning vests are distributed during this action, with the aim of improving traffic safety and encouraging walking to kindergarten. The response to the distribution of these vests has been positive, according to Sabine Wren from the Mobility Management of the district of Herford.

The initiative has led to a permanent action under the motto "Walking to Kindergarten", which supports climate protection by promoting walking instead of driving. Sabine Wren has expressed that they are open to advising kindergartens and are happy about every further institution that joins in.

Kindergartens can contact the Mobility Management of the district of Herford by email (mobilitymanagement@our website) or phone (05221/13-2290) to carry out actions for the Mobility Week. Sabine Wren did not mention any specific number of additional kindergartens that have joined the initiative.

The vests aim to promote the independence and safety of children in road traffic, as every distance covered on foot or by bike thanks to the vests contributes to the mobility transition. Sabine Wren stated that every distance covered on foot or by bike thanks to the vests promotes the independence and safety of children in road traffic.

However, Sabine Wren did not provide any new information about the European Mobility Week initiative or any new actions or initiatives beyond the Mobility Week. She also did not mention any changes to the 'Glowing Warning Vest Action' organized by the district since 2017.

The vests are delivered to the town halls of the cities and municipalities for collection by the institutions. Despite the search results not providing information about who organizes the "Glowing Warning Vest Action" in the Herford district, Sabine Wren has expressed her openness to advising kindergartens and is happy about every further institution that joins in.
