High Impact of Crashes

This year, more than 3,500 people will be killed and 350,000 will be injured on Texas streets and highways.  One of your employees or someone in their family could be among them. The Texas Employer Traffic Safety Program is here to help you prevent this.

Four impact sheets show how crashes affect employers and what you can do about it. Find out why these issues are Our Driving Concern:

WHAT’S NEW?

NEW RESOURCE PAGE—SCREENING & BRIEF INTERVENTION, or SBI, is one of the most cost-effective strategies available to employers to reduce alcohol and other drug related problems, including risky drinking leading to impaired driving. Learn more about SBI and visit links to online resources.

WEBINAR: CELL PHONES AND DRIVER DISTRACTIONS
We had a successful webinar on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 with nearly 80 people throughout Texas attending. The presentation recording, PowerPoints and resource links provided by the speakers are archived on this site for you to use and distribute at any time.

IT’S A FACT: KIDS ARE SAFER IN BACK
School is out and the summer months are here. Family activities and vacations, along with family driving time, make this a perfect time to communicate child passenger safety. It’s a fact that kids are safer in the back seat until age 13. Visit Kids Are Safer In Back! for free brochures and posters in English and Spanish, a great outreach tool for your employees to share with family and friends. You can order free packets of quantities of 25, 50 or 100, or call for larger orders.

For every worker killed in a traffic crash on the job, twelve will die in crashes off the job.
