As summer begins, Watch UR BAC, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) are encouraging teens and families to make safe driving a priority during the “100 Safest Days of Summer” campaign. The time between Memorial Day and Labor Day is referred to as the “100 Deadliest Days of Summer” due to an increase in crashes involving teen drivers. Through education and outreach, the partnership aims to reduce crashes caused by impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding, and failure to wear seat belts.
“Our goal is to help young drivers understand that every choice they make behind the wheel matters,” said Ravonne McCray, Program Manager for Watch UR BAC. “By encouraging safe driving habits and responsible decision-making, we can work together to make this summer safer for everyone on Texas roads.”
Watch UR BAC, a program of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension funded by TxDOT, gives inter- active traffic safety education to youth and Texas communities.
