Help Us Curb Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a problem that we all need to work together to solve. We've created a poster campaign called "Reasons." It asks you to consider your personal reason to arrive safely at your destination. The posters present a postive message encouraging drivers to focus on driving and nothing else. The campaign won a Gold Aster Award for 2013! We're proud to offer these posters to any of our trauma center partners or other organizations to help spread this positive safety message. You can download a high-resolution PDF here and add your logo to any or all of the designs. Download examples here. 

If you have any questions about this campaign, please contact:
