The United Nations has designated April 23rd to April 29th as Global Safety Week. This international collaborative effort is designed to promote road traffic safety on the world stage, encourage nations and government organizations to develop integrated traffic safety programs, raise awareness of the scope of the problem worldwide, and foster great international cooperation to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries. During Global Road Safety Week, NHTSA’s goal is simple: to save more lives by convincing more young drivers and passengers, in the front and back seats, to always buckle up – every trip, every time.

The intent of this planner is to provide you with earned media tools and marketing ideas that you can distribute to fit your local needs and objectives while at the same time partnering with other states, communities and organizations all across the country on this initiative.

This planner includes the messaging and templates you may choose from to support the United Nations' Global Road Safety Week (April 23-29) initiatives that focus on young road users, specifically teen seat belt use. The materials available to you are built on the Global Road Safety Week message platform of "Road Safety is No Accident," that complements NHTSA's "Buckle Up America. Every trip. Every time." message.

Please select, tailor and distribute this planner in a way that best fits your local situation and objectives.
