A Resolution recognizing February 4, 2026, as "National Hit and Run Prevention Day" and the month of February as "National Hit and Run Month" in Pennsylvania.

This Senate resolution (SR 218) symbolically designates February 4, 2026, as "National Hit and Run Prevention Day" and February 2026 as "National Hit and Run Prevention Month" in Pennsylvania. It does not create new laws or impose obligations; instead, it formally recognizes the issue of hit-and-run accidents through public awareness. The resolution includes five commitments: increasing public awareness of hit-and-run laws, encouraging responsible driving, supporting victims, promoting stronger penalties for offenders, and improving law enforcement tracking of hit-and-run cases. It references PennDOT data showing 72 fatal and 344 serious injury hit-and-run accidents in Pennsylvania during 2024. The resolution serves as a symbolic call to action for prevention and victim support.
