Distracted Driving Campaign

It's important for everyone sharing the road to be aware of the dangers of driving while distracted. To support CMV drivers, the FMCSA Our Roads, Our Safety campaign developed the toolkit below to provide tips on staying focused behind the wheel and road safety refreshers. All materials are available for download to print and/or share.

Access materials: Earned Media | Social Media | Tip Sheet

Sharing these messages to your broader audience and community will help keep our roads even safer.
