Through a $25,000 donation from IBTTA, EndDD.org and the Casey Feldman Foundation will expand educational resources, research and measurement tools to support distracted-driving prevention during the 2026–27 school year. Beginning in the second half of 2026, these enhanced resources will be customized for IBTTA members, enabling them to engage middle and high school students in their local communities with proven education programs designed to build safer driving habits before young people get behind the wheel.
Stay tuned for updates as the partnership and new educational resources roll out ahead of the 2026–27 academic year.
