The Oklahoma Safe Driving Challenge
Oklahoma Safe Driving Challenge is a fun way to get rewards and recognition for learning and sharing traffic safety information. We know when this message is shared among peers, it’s heard. When the message is shared over and over in fun, creative, and impactful ways, behavior changes, and lives are saved. Be a Lifesaver! See more details about the challenge below to get started!
What is the Oklahoma Safe Driving Challenge?
Oklahoma Safe Driving Challenge is a simple idea - increasing student-led traffic safety activities reduces traffic crashes. Peers talking to peers works! This program is modeled after the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) best practices Peer to Peer Teen Traffic Safety Guide. Teens who regularly participate in positive social projects designed to help their peers and others are less likely to engage in risky behaviors (Benton, as cited in Varenhorst, 2004). Oklahoma Safe Driving Challenge creates an empowering environment for students to share this critical, life-saving traffic safety message with their peers. This competition incentivizes and rewards them by creating a robust competitive platform to entice them to share the message: WIN, save lives, and reduce injuries!
The Challenge
OklahomaChallenge.org is designed as a portal to connect schools with teen traffic safety activities available in Oklahoma and across the United States. Activities range from basic activities, such as posting “Phone Down, Buckle Up” signs in school parking lots, to outreach through community events and safety awareness days. Most of these activities are FREE to the schools. If payment is needed, it is indicated on the activity information.
The Solution
By providing teen crash rate data and a growing list of safe driving activities, the Oklahoma Safe Driving Challenge raises awareness of the need for safe driving programs, provides the tools to find crash-reduction activities, and awards points to schools for completing and submitting their activities. Winners will be announced at the FCCLA Annual Convention in April and will receive Safety Awards provided by the State Farm, Oklahoma State Medical Association Foundation, and other sponsors.
