Together, we are ending distracted, impaired and unsafe driving in the state of Georgia.

Focus area one: Awareness

Through the Lutzie 43 Foundation's 43 Key Seconds safe driving initiative and Georgia DOT's Drive Alert, Arrive Alive campaign, drivers across the state can have tools to prioritize safety behind the wheel and in the car.

Focus area two: Education

The Lutzie 43 Foundation and Georgia DOT will run a comprehensive communications plan to bring recognition and education to distracted and impaired driving as well as host Safe Driving Summits across the state.

Focus area three: Key Distribution

Georgia DOT's HERO and CHAMP programs will distribute 43 Key Seconds keys to drivers during their stops and calls.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reminds us of the importance of not driving distracted as April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Before driving, put your phone out of reach so you are not tempted to send a text or drive distracted. Set a goal to Drive Alert Arrive Alive by taking 43 Key Seconds before hitting the road: Clear Head, Clear Hands, Clear Eyes and Click your Seatbelt before turning the key. These simple steps can make all the difference in keeping you and your loved ones safe during every journey. Let’s prioritize safety in April and every month by staying less distracted.
