Today we kick off our multi-faceted “One Road. One Focus” public safety campaign to raise awareness about the dangers and consequences of distracted driving. We all share one road, let’s share one focus: safer, distraction-free driving in Illinois.

Distracted driving is an epidemic in America, with real, tragic consequences that impact loved ones, families & entire communities. Thank you to the Onley family for sharing their story. We need to do more to stigmatize “intexticated driving” & change behaviors. #OneRoadOneFocus
