EDITORS AND CORRESPONDENTS
To help educate the public about how to share the road safely
with commercial vehicles, Congress directed the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) to create a
Share the Road
public
outreach program. In response, FHWA has established the popular
No-Zone
Campaign to caution drivers to stay clear of
No-Zones --
the danger areas around trucks and buses where crashes are most
likely to occur.
We are now conducting a study to review, evaluate, and develop
improvements for the
No-Zone
Campaign, to identify
similar programs, and to consider establishing a
Share the
Road
coalition. The FHWA has contracted with Abacus
Technology Corporation to help coordinate this study.
We want to learn what companies and other organizations may be
doing to advance car and commercial motor vehicle highway safety
and improve driving behavior. We are requesting that these
companies and organizations, that are your readers, send us
copies of their public outreach material that promotes
Share
the Road
messages. Examples may include: (1) brochures,
pamphlets, newsletters; (2) releases, press kits, news articles,
public service announcements; (3) special event material such as
speeches, photographs, and displays; (4) videos; (5) promotional
merchandise; (6) Internet web sites; and (7) driver education
material. We would like the material sent by September 1 to:
c/o Laurra Corsello, Abacus Technology Corporation
5454 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1100
Chevy Chase, MD 20815-6909
