GET INVOLVED!

Nearly 6,000 people died in 2008 in crashes involving a distracted driver. Do you want to help put an end to this type of behavior? Here's your chance.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is leading the effort to put an end to distracted driving. We’re encouraging people like you to get involved in spreading the word. The key message is to stop engaging in other activities, especially using your cell phone and other electronic devices, while driving. Your primary responsibility as a driver is to operate your motor vehicle and to do so safely! Just "Put It Down" and concentrate on the road. Here you'll find materials that can be used to promote this message by key groups of people, including: community groups, schools, parents, employers, and law enforcement.

Please take a moment to look through these materials, download the files that fit your needs, and help put an end to these senseless driving acts before more people are killed or injured.
