For this year’s D.C.-area community service event, YPT is partnering with the National Teen Distracted Driving Prevention Summit. Looking for a transportation-related volunteer opportunity? Members and friends, join YPT and TeenRSA (Teen Roadway Safety Advocates) for a Roadway Safety Assessment Activity near D.C.’s Union Station. On Sunday, December 2, approximately 50 teens attending the National Teen Distracted Driving Prevention Summit will be taking part in a TeenRSA assessment that has been designed to focus primarily on distracted driving and pedestrian safety. In this activity, groups of teens will be assigned to different intersections in the area of North Capitol Street and Union Station. YPT volunteers and other transportation professionals will be assigned to each team to help with the activity; however, the teens will be asked to use their own experience and observations to lead the exercise. You do not need to be traffic or civil engineers to volunteer, but this is a great opportunity to share your passion for transportation and learn more about distracted driving. You’ll receive a more detailed briefing about the activity after you RSVP. If you are volunteering and have access to safety vests for yourself and possibly others, that would be a huge help… let us know ahead of time.
