(CSi) Spring ahead your clocks on Sunday March 12, 2017 at 2 a.m., or before going to bed the evening of March 11th.  That’s when daylight savings time begins this year.

Time zones and daylight saving time are overseen by the U.S. Department of Transportation, which says that daylight saving time saves energy, reduces traffic fatalities, and reduces crime.

Daylight saving time until November  5, 2017.
