Student Parking Permit Policy
Implement a parking permit policy at your high school where every vehicle in the student and teacher parking lots are required to have a permit. If students and teachers are already utilizing a parking permit policy then talk with your school about adding safe driving language to the permit.
Ex: Buckle up, put down the phone.
To complete this activity:
1. Require all students (and parents) that apply for a student parking pass at your school to acknowledge the safe driving language.
2. Ideally this would be a part of the application process online.
3. Publish and enforce aspects of the challenge, such as limiting passengers, mobile device use, and seat belt usage as part of school policy and the Oklahoma Safe Driving Challenge.

About Your Organization: The Oklahoma Challenge was created in 1984 to address the dangers of teen drunk driving and encourage young drivers to wear their seat belts. Following great success in these areas, Oklahoma Challenge turned its attention to a rising concern - the dire problem of distracted driving, especially among people 15-20 years-old. Working in partnership with the Oklahoma student groups, the Oklahoma Challenge has endeavored to educate teens about the dangers of engaging in distracting activities - such as texting, talking on the phone and applying make-up - while driving. From the beginning, the Oklahoma Challenge has been unique from other initiatives in that it empowers student leaders to go back to their schools and put on the awareness activities themselves – teen to teen. By focusing on peer-to-peer communications instead of an adult-driven campaign, the messages about the dangers of distracted driving are more likely to make a lasting impact. In fact, research shows 44 percent of teen drivers say that they would be thankful if a passenger complained about their texting while driving.
