10.5. Public Information and Education Task Team Purpose To provide a forum to coordinate and support education and outreach efforts of the Destination Safe partners To address high priority areas identified in the Regional Blueprint Goal – Reduce fatalities and disabling injuries in the Destination Safe region through effective education programs. Activities To develop and implement annual PI&E plan with reports to the Destination Safe leadership committee and the TTPC.

12.Arrive Alive Public Service Announcements Missouri Mavericks Head Coach Scott Tillman encourages hockey fans to buckle up to Arrive Alive in this 2012 MoDOT public service announcement.
13.April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month – Social Media and Web Regionally, 15.5 percent of all fatalities involve distracted driving. Within the Greater Kansas City region, the number of fatalities and serious injuries resulting from distracted driving continues to fluctuate. This may be due, in part, to an inability to determine definitively whether a crash involves inattention. The Destination Safe Coalition believes distracted driving is a serious motor-vehicle issue and will continue to establish strategies that will decrease the numbers of future deaths and injuries resulting from distracted driving.
14.Distracted driving wrecks more than cars – Media Advisory Coalition partners routinely host special events to on important safety issues, to increase awareness through earned media. This event hosted a panel of five speakers including law enforcement, transportation officials, trauma services and a crash survivor. It was carried on three TV stations.
15.4. Capability to Perform Road Safety Audits The road safety audit team has conducted studies in Missouri and Kansas. A road safety audit is a formal safety performance examination of an existing or future road or intersection by an independent, qualified and multidisciplinary audit team.
16.3. Transportation Safety Data Task Team Coordinate crash data collection from KS and MO Produce quarterly fatality reports and annual crash reports Review crash data produced by/for other committees Help identify safety priority areas Help measure progress toward crash reduction goals Field media requests for specific crash data Facilitate data access for partner organizations Review applications for safety funding for other committees (infrastructure)
17.2. Call for Projects—Funding our Partners’ Safety Programs Annual call for projects to fund activities such as: Overtime hours for enforcement agencies Equipment for enforcement Incentive items for education programs Speakers fees and travel for education programs Child safety seats for distribution at community events Training fees for car seat techs Printing of informational brochures for use of bike and ped facilities Many, many others Data Driven! Application form requests data to define the problem, gives points for addressing a high-priority focus area, requires identification of performance measures, rewards use of strategies listed in Blueprint Online applications!
18.BikeWalkKC Bike rodeo events teach children and parents about bicycle safety and the importance of a properly fitted helmet.

24.4. Active Coordination Among Members We want to find ways to incentivize agencies coming together to solve the bigger problems in the region. Want to encourage innovative approaches that leverage the resources and activities of others. Want to share best practices and successes among membership.
25.3. Reliable, Accessible Safety Data Help foster quality data capture by officers in the field Help coordinate data aggregation between Missouri and Kansas for our region Support systems and efforts that provide our safety partners access to safety data Work with partners toward the ability to link new data sources, such as traffic citation databases and injury outcomes data from hospitals Continue to generate reports that help us measure our progress toward our goals
26.2. Strategic Multidisciplinary Approach Destination Safe is focused on the driver, and changing behavior through education and enforcement. The next step is to coordinate efforts with infrastructure groups. The constant improvement in vehicle technologies will continue to shift our safety priorities, and coordination among all the stakeholders will be critical.
