The mission of
\n Keep Kids Alive<\/span><\/i> Drive 25<\/b>\u00ae<\/span><\/b> is to end all deaths and injuries caused by speeding
\n on all roadways. Our target is zero deaths, zero injuries. <\/b>To
\n do less is to accept and tolerate deaths and injuries to loved ones;
\n daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles,
\n grandparents, and friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n To accomplish our mission we work to educate<\/b> and actively engage<\/b>
\n citizens throughout the United States in a common commitment to
\n create safer streets in neighborhoods, and beyond, for the benefit
\n of all. This includes pedestrians, cyclists, children-at-play,
\n motorists and their passengers. We work with and through
\n neighborhood groups, law enforcement, public health agencies,
\n schools, city\/county\/state government, public works, businesses,
\n safety organizations, and any and all civic organizations committed
\n to creating safe roadways. <\/span><\/p>\n

The campaign
\n goal is to unite neighborhoods and communities throughout the U.S.
\n with a consistent message about safe driving.
\n Keep Kids Alive<\/span> Drive 25<\/span><\/span>\u00ae<\/span><\/span>
\n reminds each of us to check our speed and slow down as needed. Since
\n we as drivers cause the problem of speeding in residential
\n neighborhoods, and beyond, we must be actively engaged and committed
\n to being the solution as well.  Keep Kids
\n Alive<\/span> Drive 25<\/span><\/span>\u00ae<\/span> <\/span>is<\/span><\/span> a friendly reminder to slow down in a fast-paced world,
\n as well as an<\/span><\/span> invitation to take personal
\n responsibility for our driving behavior. <\/span><\/p>\n

For
\n communities, it is imperative to send the message that, “Speeding
\n will not be tolerated in our town!” <\/b> Keep
\n Kids Alive<\/span> Drive 25<\/span><\/span>\u00ae<\/span>
\n <\/span>works to
\n support this message by educating and engaging drivers, pedestrians,
\n cyclists, residents, parents, schools, businesses, law enforcement,
\n public works, and many others in making safer streets a reality.
\n This is why we exist.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
