Distracted Driving Summit - Today and Tomorrow

Thank you Mr. Solomon for the note in my inbox alerting me to a summit that US Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood is hosting on distracted drivers.

From the Secretary's blog, the Fast Lane:

So today, we’re kicking off a two-day summit that’s going to look at this deadly epidemic from every angle.

We’re bringing together top experts in safety, transportation research, regulatory affairs, and law enforcement to help us identify, target, and tackle the fundamental elements of this problem.

Watch the webcast of both days' events here, or the live-blog at the Fast Lane.

From my inbox:

Crazy as it seems, the Secretary would like to keep a few more walkers from getting beaned by inattentive drivers. -Todd Solomon, OST Public Affairs

Well, that's a statement I can fully support! Check out the summit today and tomorrow (September 30th and October 1st).
