History

In 1989, a young boy was struck and killed on his way to school. This incident was the catalyst that caused the Colorado Springs City Council to seek individuals, who would work together, to prevent these traffic-related tragedies in the future. In response, DRIVE SMART Colorado Springs was formed and made a commitment to enhance traffic safety in Colorado Springs by working on a variety of campaigns to reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities.

DRIVE SMART is a community-based traffic safety program with a steering committee comprised of 50 active community members from local law enforcement agencies, City traffic engineering, public health, schools, insurance agencies, military installations, local businesses, hospitals, emergency medical services, community non-profit coalitions (Colorado Springs SAFE KIDS, MADD, Joel’s Patrol, Think First) and concerned citizens.
