"Informing Today...Ensuring Tomorrow"
Ada High School
Ada, Oklahoma
“Informing Today … Ensuring Tomorrow” brought about a significant increase in seat-belt usage and driving at safe speeds after we shared our heart-wrenching story throughout the state of Oklahoma. We created the Oklahoma Student Alliance for Smart Driving, which supports safe driving campaigns within schools. Our message is being used in our House of Representatives to aid in raising seat-belt fines in Oklahoma. We created a video, billboards, a television commercial, radio PSAs, posters, pens, key chains, and hosted assemblies and emotional reenactments to help get our message out to schools and the university that joined our alliance. District judges have adopted our video into the punishment for all DUI offenses. We also hosted a safe driving summit for schools that joined our alliance and discussed key issues. We attended the National Teen Safe Driving Summit in Washington, D.C., and shared our story on a national level.
