Zero Fatalities

Zero Fatalities seeks to eliminate traffic fatalities. The site promotes a variety of catchy advertising programs to raise awareness of the risks involved in driving.

• Spot the Tot encourages people to be aware of the children around vehicles.
• Don't Drive Stupid raises awareness of things that causes accidents such as drowsiness, or in car distractions (like other teenagers).
• Boost Til 8 promotes the use of baby seats and booster seats.
• Click It or Ticket is a warning about what they will do to you if you are caught without your seatbelt.
• Heads Up reminds pedestrians that they are likely to lose in a run in with a car and need to be street smart.
• Truck Smart reminds car drivers that trucks (and trains for that matter) are the ones that will live through a car/truck incident. Trucks and trains are big and slow to stop.

Zero Fatalities hosts a Safety Summit in early October.

Alive at 25 is a related course for young drivers to help them develop safe driving practices.
