According to the Department of Transportation, during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend of 2022, there were 326 passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes across the nation, and 43% of those were unrestrained. Choosing not to wear your seatbelt can be deadly.
Please buckle-up and stay safe this holiday season.
Last evening, a reception to thank all of the volunteers that serve the City of Mustang was conducted at Town Center. A total of 66 volunteers attended the event.
We appreciate all of our volunteers - whether at the Animal Welfare Center, Adult Activities Center, Parks and Recreation, or Library. We are thankful for the chaplains for the Fire and Police Department, as well as those that serve on the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, Library Board, or Parks and Recreation Board.
You help make our City and the services we offer better everyday!
Be sure to stop by the Veterans Day Ceremony in the Great Room at Town Center at 11:00 AM.
Thank a Veteran today and every day!

Happy Halloween from the City of Mustang's Finance Department!
Halloween is an evening where many families enjoy time together going door to door and walking through their neighborhoods. For years now children have made wonderful memories scaring friends and digging through piles of candy they received. In order to make this Halloween another fun memory, it is important that everyone plan for the weather and prepare to remain safe as they walk through their neighborhoods, especially as the sunlight disappears. It is always a good idea to include reflective material within the clothing/costumes your children wear, and it is important to have flashlights illuminated as you walk.
It is important to know that October is National Pedestrian Safety Month. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a much greater percentage of pedestrian fatalities occur during nighttime (78%) compared to daylight hours (19%) and dusk/dawn (4%). Please pay attention to your surroundings, and watch for traffic in all directions, as you take your family for an evening of fun.
Come see Ms. Sheila and Ms. Paige at the Family Community Engagement Night at MHS!
