How does the NEW Safe Driving Challenge work?
USE the TEAM ROAD MAP & PLANNING PORTFOLIO!
The Challenge
Student teams will use OklahomaChallenge.org as a portal to connect with teen traffic safety activities available in Oklahoma and across the United States. Activities range from basic activities, such as posting “Buckle Up, Phone Down” signs in school parking lots, to outreach through community events and traffic safety awareness days. Most of these activities are FREE to the schools. If payment is needed, it is included in the activity information.
The Solution
By providing teen crash rate data and a growing list of safe driving activities, the Oklahoma Safe Driving Challenge raises awareness of the need for safe driving programs, provides the tools to find crash-reduction activities, and awards points to schools for completing and submitting their activities. Winners will be announced at the appropriate student leadership organization conventions and will receive a Safety Award provided by State Farm, the Oklahoma State Medical Association Foundation, and other sponsors.
