TxDOT's WALKR pedestrian safety campaign is hitting the streets across all 25 TxDOT districts during National Pedestrian Safety Month, and we're seeking 5 upbeat, safety minded Brand Ambassadors in Paris. As days get shorter heading into the end of Daylight Saving Time, it gets harder for drivers to see people walking. This campaign is all about reminding drivers and pedestrians to stay alert and watch out for each other.
The team will activate along one of the area's busiest stretches, bringing an eye catching walking billboard experience to drivers and pedestrians right where it matters most.
As a WALKR Brand Ambassador, you'll walk a planned route wearing a backpack billboard, hand out reflective giveaways, share simple safety tips, and invite people to take a quick survey. If you enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and connecting with your community for a meaningful cause, this opportunity is for you.
Event Location: Intersections along New Boston Rd. from Summerhill Rd. to N. Robison Rd.
Event Address: Texarkana, TX. Exact meet up point and walking route map will be shared once confirmed.
Dates and Times:
Thursday, November 5, 10:00AM to 2:30PM
Times may shift slightly and will be confirmed with your final details.
Pay: $35.00/hr
Parking: Details will be shared with your meet up location
Attire: Black pants or shorts and comfortable walking shoes. Campaign shirt and reflective gear are provided. On cooler days, please layer a jacket or long sleeves under the provided shirt.
Gig Scope
As a Brand Ambassador on the WALKR team, you'll be a walking billboard for pedestrian safety in Texarkana. Wearing a lightweight backpack billboard, you'll walk the designated route with the team, activating the campaign message for drivers stopped at intersections and for people on foot along the way. You'll hand out free reflective slap bands and stickers, share quick, friendly safety tips like crossing at the corner and looking left, right, and left again, and invite passersby to take a short pedestrian safety survey on an iPad (available in English and Spanish). Throughout the activation, you'll stay alert to your surroundings, follow the planned walking route, and coordinate with your Team Lead so every stop runs smoothly and safely.
