Keep Kids Alive-Drive 25

The mission of Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® is to end all deaths and injuries caused by speeding on all roadways. Our target is zero deaths, zero injuries. To do less is to accept and tolerate deaths and injuries to loved ones; daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends.

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

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

In addition, please take time to find out about our STOP! TAKE 3 TO SEE®, SEAT BELTS-FASTENATING!®, It's Not a Race! Create Space©, Be Aware! Drive With Care™, and Check Your Speed®/No Need To Speed® initiatives. These are designed to complement Keep Kids Alive Drive 25®.

History:
A non-profit organization founded in the summer of 1998, Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® is a safety campaign targeting observance of the residential speed limit. In most towns and cities throughout the U.S. the residential speed limit is 25 mph. Thus the slogan, "Keep Kids Alive Drive 25®".

Tom and Wendy Everson began the campaign in their neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska. Since that time, Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® has been embraced in over 1000 communities representing 48 states, 2 Canadian Provinces, and the Bahamas.
