Joint Safety Marketing: Boat Safe, Road Safe

Boat Safe, Road Safe is a partnering concept for cross-promoting highway and water safety. By combining life jacket wear and seat belt usage, BUI/BWI and DUI/DWI, and inattentive operation and distracted driving, we are able to reach a larger audience to reinforce safety messages and encourage the public to practice safe vehicle operation, no matter what mode of transportation they are using. Attendees will receive all logos and educational materials, which can be easily modified with their state-specific information.
