With the House Transportation and Infrastructure hearing today at 10 am on roadway safety programs, we want to remind them of the 110 families from nearly all 50 states that went to DC last May to share their stories and ask for the crisis on our roads to be made a national priority. Together we can end deaths on our roads. #HowManyMore #stopdistractions #JustDrive U.S. Department of Transportation Sean Duffy U.S. House of Representatives

FL - We are making progress in Florida thanks to the actions of the #HandsFreeFlorida coalition. Families and advocates across the state are getting resolutions of support from the municipalities. Thank you to Demetrius Branca from the Anthony Phoenix Branca Foundation for his statewide tour and the results he is getting! Together we will get this done. Let us know if you want to get involved! https://lnkd.in/diF6txeW

We're excited to announce the Safe Teen Driving Challenge in Kentucky, in partnership with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (DBE) , AAA Blue Grass/Kentucky, Inc. and Governor Andy Beshear. "As Governor, but also as the dad of two teenagers who I love more than anything, making sure all our drivers are safe on the roadways is a top priority," said Gov. Beshear. The contest encourages new drivers to be safe, with the chance to win a cash prize and be named Kentucky's safest teen driver. “We want this generation to be leaders in helping us have fewer crashes and fatalities.” Learn more about the contest: https://lnkd.in/gYXbgHiz #SafeTeenDriving #Kentucky #CMT Andy Beshear for Governor

Iowa - Today at 2:30 CT the Judiciary subcommittee will hold a hearing on SF22 for a #HandsFreeIowa. Tune in to watch live here:  https://lnkd.in/gJ-sZue6 We support this law because of families like Nina Todd who lost her sons Maliki and Alex due to a distracted driver. Watch her story and help us show support for the Hands-Free Iowa bill in Iowa by calling your Senate members and expressing your support.

Speaking up to a distracted driver can feel intimidating, but practice can help. What would you say? #NationalPassengerSafetyWeek https://lnkd.in/e396--Sb

The Detroit Auto Show provided a powerful platform for our Foundation to advance our mission to end distracted driving and save lives. We were excited to showcase our Just Drive Simulators, allowing the public to experience firsthand the dangers of distracted driving. It was humbling to connect with individuals and organizations equally committed to creating safer roads. Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts and joined us at this amazing event, and a special thanks to our volunteers for their dedication. We’re already looking forward to next year! #TheKieferFoundation #KieferFoundation #Kiefer #DistractedDriving #DetroitAutoShow #Volunteer

Hands-Free Florida, please sign the petition! On average, nine people die on Florida roads every day. Six of these deaths are attributed to distracted driving. Thirty-one US states and more than 30 countries have already adopted hands-free cell phone use laws and are seeing deaths, crashes and insurance rates drop dramatically. It's time to go Hands-Free, Florida. #VisionZero #TowardZeroDeaths #RoadToZero #ZeroTrafficDeaths

Please share with any teens you know in Kentucky!
