Studies have shown that the best results come from signing pledges in a group setting and occasional reminders of their commitment has shown to help maintain their behavioral changes.

Pledges will be combined with those from other campuses. Those who choose to include their email address will be invited to participate in a continuing academic study to determine the effectiveness of the program and receive reminders of the importance of not driving distracted. Pledge signers will NOT receive solicitations for donations and they may opt-out at any time. Their email addresses will only be used for this program and never shared or given to others for any reason.
