The Safer Access to Neighborhood Destination (SAND) program is an educational and civic engagement campaign focused on the prevention of fatal and serious roadway-related injuries by providing young adults and aspiring drivers with tools and knowledge to empower safe and confident travel choices & behavior. The SAND Program is geared toward improving road safety awareness for young adults by seeking to understand their concerns and desired travel destinations using community mapping and social engagement tools and identifying the priorities they think are the most important to address. This can count as community service hours (please bring your forms to us to sign)!
