On this week's program, your host, Justin Mog, sits down with Alex Otte, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Regional Executive Director and former National President. Alex is a Kentucky resident, who was hit by a boat driven by a drunk driver while sitting on a jet ski when she was 13 years old. Despite sustaining severe injuries — including a traumatic brain injury, broken neck, shattered femurs, and the loss of her right leg below the knee — Alex survived and has dedicated her life to ending drunk driving. Learn Alex's personal story at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN7vEoTkeOE December is Impaired Driving Prevention Month - and December is also a month where we see an increase in impaired driving due to the holiday celebrations and increased travel. Tune in as Alex shares some valuable safety tips during this high-risk period. You'll also learn what MADD is doing to end drunk driving year-round, and how anti-drunk driving technology, required by the bipartisan, federal HALT Act which was passed into law in 2021, will ultimately end drunk driving. Drunk driving is an escalating public health crisis. Drunk driving deaths have increased by 33% since 2019, claiming more than 13,000 lives in 2022 alone — impacting families nationwide. Every 78 seconds, someone is killed or injured in a drunk driving crash. Anti-drunk driving technology in cars offers a lifeline, yet regulatory delays mean 37 more lives lost each day. MADD believes we can end drunk driving with lifesaving anti-drunk driving technology. The HALT Drunk Driving Act, passed in November 2021, requires a new national safety standard for anti-drunk driving technology in all new cars. The law then requires car manufacturers to integrate the technology in new vehicles. This technology will save more than 10,000 lives per year and prevent hundreds of thousands of injuries, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The HALT Act directs the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to complete a rulemaking process to determine what technology solution is ultimately chosen. The law directed USDOT to establish regulations for this technology by November 15, 2024. The rulemaking process involves gathering insights from a broad range of stakeholders including auto manufacturers, safety experts, engineers, and the public, ensuring that the solutions developed are both effective and practical. This is similar to the regulatory process that brought us seatbelts, airbags and backup cameras, which are all standard in new vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is directed to complete a rulemaking process within three years of the November 2021 enactment of the IIJA. Automakers will then have two to three years to implement the new standard. The auto industry has the resources and expertise to make safety advancements like drunk driving prevention a reality, much the same way it has used its R&D prowess for self-driving vehicles, electrification and many safety innovations. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!

This week on The Heart of Giving Podcast, I had an illuminating conversation with Stacey Stewart, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). She shared powerful insights about MADD's impact and evolving mission.   Key Themes from Stacey's Interview:   - Despite a 50% decline in impaired driving fatalities since MADD's founding, recent years have seen a concerning 33% increase during 2019-2022 - Two-thirds of impaired driving fatalities involve drivers with blood alcohol levels nearly twice the legal limit (0.15 or higher) - Game-changing technology is on the horizon: new legislation mandates anti-drunk driving sensors in all new vehicles, potentially saving 10,000 lives annually   Notable Quotes: ''The world needs a lot of good... I've enjoyed the idea of being able to do good in lots of different ways.''   ''We have to do what is in the best interest of public safety.''   ''If we have a solution that we know exists that can save 10,000 lives a year... the question is why would we not do that?''

The holiday months are usually all about parties, family visits and Christmas concerts. Unfortnaley, holiday months can also be some of the deadliest months for people traveling on the road. A rise in impaired driving is typically the reason why due to all those late-night celebrations.   The definition of impaired driving can also mean multiple things. For example, it can mean driving under the influence of prescription drugs or it can mean driving under the influence of illicit drugs. It can mean driving drunk or driving tried. Because the definition of impaired driving has changed significantly over time, impaired driving has created its own set of challenges for law enforcement. Whether it's called drunk driving, driving under the influence, impaired driving or operating under the influence it is a serious problem, especially around the holidays, and it demands continued conversation and attention.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On December 5th, 1933, the 21st amendment of The U.S. Constitution was ratified, effectively ending Prohibition in the United States. 90 years later, alcohol has become a well-studied substance with universally accepted quantities for what constitutes a single drink. But recently, there's been a new player in town. Cannabis. Across the United States, widespread legalization of marijuana has hurtled our country into uncharted territory. In 2018, more than 12 million Americans admitted to driving while under the influence of cannabis. Unlike alcohol, with no “legal limit” or field sobriety test, the dangers of driving while impaired by marijuana become all the more consequential. In fact, it was found that the rate of fatal crashes attributed to impaired driving doubles in states that have recently legalized the drug. All in all, it doesn't matter if you are for or against cannabis, as my guest today is an advocate for safety. Hello, I am your host Mike Lake and in today's preview I will be talking with Denise Valenti, CEO of IMMAD, a company that has developed a technology that can measure visual field functions that are essential for safe driving. Support the show
