Drive Safe New York Poster Challenge
The New York State Governor's Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC) is inviting NYS high school juniors and seniors to create a poster raising awareness about preventing “unsafe driving habits” as a driver or passenger, or recognizing an “unsafe driver” on the road. This poster will be distributed throughout New York State and should encourage people to make safe choices before getting in the car and while on the road.
GTSC coordinates traffic safety activities in the state and shares useful, timely information about traffic safety and the state's highway safety grant program.
