About the NDDC
The National Distracted Driving Coalition is a multi-sector collaborative effort formed in 2021 to combat and eliminate distracted driving on U.S. highways.
Its goal is to shift the traffic safety culture so that attentive driving becomes the norm and people recognize that no text, call, or distraction is worth a life.
