HELP US WIN FUNDS!

President Biden signed into law the Infrastructure bi l l , which contains a provision representing 15 plus years of work by MADD relating to passive impaired driving detection in vehicles. https: //www.nbc12.com/ . . . /this-is- essential ly. . . / The package pours bi l l ions into roads, bridges, publ ic transit and more. Also included in the bi l l is a section for “Advanced Impaired Driving Technology” which initiates a rulemaking by the National Highway Traff ic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to set the new safety standard. When ful ly implemented on al l new cars, thousands of l ives wi l l be saved. This provision is one we at Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD) believe is the most significant lifesaving measure in its 41-year history.
