April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month and new NSC estimates show that our roads are the most dangerous they’ve been in years; on a typical day, eight people are killed and hundreds more are injured in distraction-affected crashes. Your workers face distracted driving risks on every trip, from the driveway to the parking lot and back home again.

More than 46,000 people died on the road last year. Every death is someone’s friend, child, co-worker – and every death is preventable. Tom Goeltz knows this pain. He lost his daughter Megan and her unborn child to a distracted driver. We all have a responsibility to prevent these senseless deaths.

This April, team with NSC to spread the word that distracted driving, including hands-free phone use and infotainment systems, puts everyone at risk. Sign up for free, ready-to-use resources to create a distracted driving program that engages your workforce and reminds everyone to #JustDrive.
