While North Carolina has a dynamic community of issue-specific transportation safety advocates, what was missing was one organization with expertise in conducting high-impact public communications efforts, providing effective grassroots and grasstops citizen engagement, and serving to champion public policies that promote better behaviors to combat perils to safety across all forms and manner of transportation.

The North Carolina Alliance for Safe Transportation (NCAST) was created to be that organization, with one goal in mind: reduce the number of transportation-related crashes, injuries and fatalities in North Carolina.

Create a video, billboard design or radio spot to motivate, persuade and encourage your peers to not drive distracted. You can speak to them on this subject in a way that adults cannot – the more impact you make, the more lives you can save.

Not only can you win scholarships worth up to $8000, but your creative vision may be turned into a PSA and distributed nationally! Deadlines are approaching, so click below for entry details.

Drunk, drugged and distracted driving are on the rise. Telling people to drive safely isn’t enough – passengers can play a more active role in their own safety and that of others.

That is why We Save Lives and the National Road Safety Foundation launched The National Passenger Safety Campaign, to bring together other organizations that believe that it’s time to focus on the passenger, and not just the driver. The goal is to promote safe driving practices and prevent unsafe ones by empowering passengers to “SPEAK UP” when their lives are in danger due to a reckless driver. So far more than 60 other organizations have joined the coalition, with more to come.  

“One courageous voice can change one deadly choice.”
