SAFE SUMMER SEASON

Your back-to-school safety movement this summer, powered by YOU and your crew.

Heading back to class means more late-night study sessions, after-school hangouts, and weekend plans.

But it also means more time behind the wheel, and some serious risks to keep in mind.

Back-to-School = Back on the Road

Riding along with your crew this semester? Staying focused keeps everyone safe.

Here’s the deal: Distractions can be deadly! In 2023, 3,275 people were killed in distraction-related crashes, and 5% of drivers in fatal crashes were reported distracted. And in that same year, 59% of teen passenger deaths (ages 13–19) happened in vehicles driven by another teen.

Here’s what YOU can do about it:

Take the wheel and share road-safety tips with other young drivers, especially your classmates, to make sure everyone gets to school, practice, or the weekend game safely this back-to-school season.

Whether you’re a driver or a passenger, YOU can be the reason your crew stays safe for the remainder of summer, and earn yourself a shot at a scholarship.
