Zero Distractions aims to end distracted driving for all. We want to educate all drivers, future drivers, and passengers on the importance of staying active and safe while on the road. The goals of the campaign are to build awareness for distracted driving while changing driver and passenger behavior through pledges to have zero distractions while driving, campaign ambassadors, and partner organizations. Because when you drive distracted, we are all impacted!
Distracted driving is a deadly crisis, for this reason April is dedicated to educating people on ways to recognize and eliminate preventable deaths from distracted driving. According to the National Highway Safety Administration more than 65,000 people are killed in car crashes every two years, one in ten involved a distracted driver. Thankfully, there is a solution to this epidemic, behavioral change. When each of us chooses to stop the behaviors that lead to distracted driving, we get on step closer to ending this crisis. Knowing that there is a solution, NTTC strives to help others learn and change.
