[September 14, 2012]  SPRINGFIELD -- This week Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann L. Schneider announced a new video series that will feature messages on key Illinois Department of Transportation initiatives. "On the Move" will give the public a look into the department and will cover a variety of topics.

"This video series is an opportunity for me to provide further details on several imperative topics here at IDOT and also to elaborate on what we are working on to help keep you, the motorist, informed," Schneider said. "I look forward to discussing new projects and initiatives as well as letting you know how you can help us keep our roads safe."

The first video in the series will include information on the rising number of fatalities in Illinois and what must be done to save lives.
