Drive Safely Work Week 2010 is coming (in the U.S. – sorry, fellow Canadians), running Oct. 4-8. It’s a joint project of the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety and the U.S. Department of Transportation. The focus is on the dangers of using mobile devices while driving, and I’m thrilled to be able to make a contribution. (To the week. Not to the dangers.)
NETS has produced a tool kit for organizations that want to take part in DSWW. And they asked me if they could use one of my cartoons.
The kit is impressively thorough: sample messages, posters, banners – even a daily activity sheet. (My cartoon appears on the sheet for Thursday, Oct. 7.) If you want to participate, just fill out a short survey and you’ll get a download link. (You can also follow the NTES on Twitter.)
By the way, the campaign has been blogged by Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. Five years ago, the idea of a member of the U.S. federal cabinet blogging would have blown my mind. Today, it seems perfectly normal.
