The Alfred State University Police Department will host the International Save a Life Tour on Wednesday, September 16. The safe driving program that includes hands-on virtual reality impaired and distracted driving simulators will take place from 10 AM to 2 PM in the Small Event Space in the Student Leadership Center.
“We are pleased to welcome the Save a Life Tour back to campus,” said Chief of Police Jeff Wilcox. “Distracted and impaired driving can have serious, life-changing consequences. This program provides students with an engaging way to reinforce the importance of making safe, responsible decisions behind the wheel. I encourage our students to take advantage of this valuable opportunity.”
The Save A Life Tour provides safe driving educational services to The Department of Defense, Connecticut D.O.T., New Hampshire Highway Safety, New York STOP-DWI, Missouri D.O.T., Michigan Highway Safety, Tennessee Highway Safety and more to inform students on the dangers of driving impaired and distracted.
The Save A Life Tour is a comprehensive high impact safe driving awareness program that informs, educates, and demonstrates the potentially deadly consequences resulting from poor choices and decisions made by the operator of a motor vehicle. The program specifically places emphasis on the following driving situations: Distracted Driving, Impaired Driving, Driver Experience, Improper Driver Behavior and Seat Belt Usage. The Save A Life Tour utilizes several methods for education including video presentation, speaking presentation, interactive demonstration with simulators, pre and post surveys and take-a-ways including a pledge card and a wristband.
University Police is working on a date to bring The Save a Life Tour to the Wellsville campus later this school year.
