Programs

Distracted Driving

Taking your eyes off the road puts you and others in danger. Eliminate distractions so everyone can get to their destination safely.

Aggressive Driving

We all have places to be. But when you speed, weave through traffic and break the rules of the road, you’re putting everyone at risk of serious injury. Take a breath, chill out and get there in one piece.

Occupant Protection

Wearing a seat belt is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of serious injury or death in a car crash. Make sure you and your passengers buckle up to ensure everyone’s around for future trips.

Impaired Driving

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a no-go on our roads. Make a plan for a sober driver to keep our communities safe.

Child Passenger Safety

Kids aren’t just your most precious cargo, they depend on you to keep them safe. So whether they’re at the age for a car seat or booster seat, make sure they’re buckled up properly.

Motorcycle Safety

Ease off the throttle and enjoy the ride. And for drivers in cars, be on the lookout for your friends with two (and sometimes three!) wheels.

SOAR

The Safe On All Roads (SOAR) program is a partnership between MDT and the Tribal communities in Montana to promote safe driving behavior through culturally sensitive and Tribal-specific messaging.
