Ready 4 The Road and KS95 sponsored by StateFarm have just released an audio public service announcement about distracted driving. This PSA is the some of the work the crew has put in.

Ready 4 The Road Hits The Road!

In April, Ready 4 The Road drove up to Mora, Minnesota to visit Janet Marcinak. Janet shared her story about losing her teenage daughter Joy in a car accident and why it’s so important to all teenagers to be ready 4 the road.

We also visited Dr. Gormley, a pediatric rehabilitation specialist at Gillette Childrens Hospital. Dr. Gormley gave us his perspective on distracted driving as a physician and parent.

Ready 4 The Road Went to Philly!

From April 10th to the 13th, the Ready4theRoad crew went to Philadelphia to attend the National Lifesaver’s Conference. We received training on distracted driving legislation and met many other organizations who are trying to keep our roadways safe.Life Savers Conference 2010

Click 4 Life Performance at Toward Zero Death Conference

On October 28th, a small group of Click4Life/Ready4TheRoad students and staff were invited to perform at the annual Towards Zero Death (TZD) Conference in Duluth, Minnesota. The TZD Conference is sponsored by the Minnesota Departments of Public Safety and Transportation and invites law enforcers from across the state to discuss the 4 “E”s of safe driving practices: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Medical/Health Services. We got the crowd started and revved up for a 2-day forum to encourage safe driving in the state of Minnesota.

Since the Click 4 Life campaign has become so successful by completing their goals and getting the Primary Seat Belt Law passed, we have decided to create a new initiative. The new campaign is called Ready 4 The Road. This campaign is all about creating a safe place on the road by making sure drivers are ready and not distracted. We know that thousands of people are distracted while driving, and we want to eliminate it. During this campaign we have a few main goals that we want to accomplish.
1) To make sure drivers are Ready 4 The Road and not distraced.
2) To show the outcome of distracted driving and make awareness.
3) To influence new legislation that will create a safer place on the road for drivers.

The Primary Seat Belt bill is signed into law!!!!

Gov. Tim Pawlenty has signed the bill that will allow police in Minnesota to pull over drivers and occupants simply for not wearing their seat belts. As a result, many lives will be saved! The Click4Life team is incredibly proud of its role in helping to pass this important bill. We are tremendously thankful to State Farm for this incredible learning and service opportunity for our students and program. We are also thankful for all of the great partners we teamed up with over the last two years to make this day possible.
