The Office of Highway Safety Planning wants to ensure that no one is injured or killed in a tragedy that could have been prevented by the use of safety belts, child restraint systems, bicycle helmets or motorcycle helmets. Publicizing crashes where the use of safety equipment prevented serious injury or loss of life will go a long way toward educating friends, neighbors, and co-workers about safe driving practices.

Make the Connection is a program that gives you the opportunity to recognize people involved in crashes who were protected not only by using a safety belt, but also a child safety seat, wearing a bicycle or motorcycle helmet, or deployment of an airbag.

And, it’s easy to get involved. Fax in the form listed below or contact OHSP at (517) 333-5325 for more information.
