Distracted driving affects all road users and is a multi-faceted problem requiring a broad spectrum of solutions. Partnerships across sectors allow us to share knowledge, optimize prevention strategies and reach much larger audiences to positively influence safer choices. The National Distracted Driving Coalition joins experts and advocates to identify and promote sound solutions. Review of the coalition's completed priorities from their national action plan will be discussed, highlighting the key findings in their published reports and how those findings can be used in your own communities.
