Every 39 minutes, a life is lost to drunk driving. 37 lives, every single day. Lives full of potential, gone because of a 100% preventable crime. But we are on the brink of a future where drunk driving can be stopped before it starts. The HALT Act (Honoring Abbas Family Legacy to Terminate Drunk Driving) will require drunk driving prevention technology in all new vehicles – a game-changing innovation that, once fully implemented, will save 10,000 lives every year. This is how we end drunk driving. This is how we save lives. But we need your voice to get there. Join MADD’s Advocacy Network and help us push for the full implementation of the HALT Act. madd.org/advocacy Every voice moves us forward. Every advocate brings us closer to a nation where no life is cut short by drunk driving.

In observance of the federal holiday, MADD offices will be closed today. However, our 24/7 victim services support line remains open to provide support when it’s needed most. We’ll return tomorrow, dedicated to driving progress toward a future free from impaired driving. In the meantime, please be safe and make responsible choices. We’ll see you tomorrow as we continue working toward a world where impaired driving is no longer a threat ?? 24/7 victim services are available at 1-877-623-3435

Thank you to Chairman Michael Hanson for your powerful testimony before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, emphasizing the critical need for full implementation of the HALT Act. This lifesaving technology has the potential to prevent more than 10,000 deaths every year once in all new cars. At MADD, we are proud to stand alongside Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), Responsibility.org, and our many dedicated partners, united in our mission to end impaired driving. Let’s get this technology on our roads-it will save lives.

????? Safety is a priority for the app-based industry. A great example is Uber’s partnering with MADD and the National Football League (NFL) for their #SuperBowl “Take a Minute, Make a Plan” campaign.? The initiative, led by MADD, encourages football fans to use any of the 240 minutes of the Super Bowl (including many ad breaks) to make a plan to get home safely. Rideshare apps like Uber are there to ensure all spectators have safe travel options.? Learn more about the campaign here: https://lnkd.in/edDuNw8p?

The average fan thinks about football 690 minutes a week — we’re asking them to take one of those to make a plan for how to get home safely from #SuperBowl celebrations. Thanks to Dakota News Now for having me on to talk about Uber, MADD, Diageo, and the National Football League (NFL)'s drunk driving prevention campaign.
