Lucas County Distracted Driving Coalition
The Lucas County Distracted Driving (LCDD) coalition is a community coalition that is focused on the education of safe driving for teens (15-20 year old). Our goals are supported through a grant funded by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).
The goal of this grant is to decrease motor vehicle crashes involving teens aged 15-20 through our efforts in Lucas County schools. These efforts include having schools in Lucas County with language specific to the Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Law in the student driving portion of their handbooks. We are also moving to include a GDL Module for parents and teens to reinforce the GDL laws. Through these efforts we hope to greatly reduce the number of crashes involving teens and help keep them safer on the road.
The goal of the LCDD coalition is to lead the effort to reduce the number of young drivers (age 15-20) at fault, involved in crashes in Lucas County through education, outreach and policy implementation.
Safe Kids Greater Toledo is a community coalition focused on the prevention of unintentional childhood (birth to age 18) injuries through public education, community programming, safety product distribution, legislation, and media outreach.
SKGT focuses on all forms of safety from birth such as child passenger safety with car seats and safe sleep, to toddlers with safety in the home, through elementary aged children with fire safety, to safely staying home alone with middle school children, and into teen driving safety for high school kids.
