Webinar - Creating Change – Fire Service Considerations to Prevent Distracted Driving and Increase Safety

Distracted driving persists at high levels despite the effort of many national campaigns. Why haven’t we been able to significantly change driving behaviors? Perhaps it’s because we haven’t given drivers the right reasons to change. Responders are in peril every time they go to a crash scene because of distracted drivers. It is incumbent on responders to take action now to reduce distracted driving crashes. Education needs to start early – fire departments across the country have made distracted driving education for grades K-12 part of their community risk reduction plans. Join presenter Joel Feldman for this webinar to learn about new research-based approaches that have been proven effective in changing attitudes and driving behaviors, and how you can do the same with tested materials.
