Hey Safety Champs!!!

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just released a NEW tool kit, Roadway to Safer Tribal Communities Toolkit! Be sure to check it out and learn to how improve your transportation and safety practices!

Did you know that American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) have the highest motor vehicle-related death rates of all racial and ethnic groups, with rates two to three times greater than all other Americans?

CDC in partnership with the Indian Health Service (IHS) developed the Roadway to Safer Tribal Communities ToolKit to provide materials including fact sheets, posters and a video to help prevent crash-related injuries and deaths among members of tribal nations. These materials focus on important steps for road safety including:

increasing proper child safety seat use;
increasing seat belt use; and
decreasing alcohol-impaired driving.
