Impaired Driving Awareness Campaign Announced by MADD Under the Name "End Herre"
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), a pioneering organisation in the fight against impaired driving, has undergone a significant transformation. Since 2019, the organisation has broadened its focus from just drunk driving to all forms of impaired driving, marking a strategic shift in its approach.
The rebranding includes a new tagline, "Impaired Driving Ends Here," which signifies a stronger, more inclusive message aimed at ending all impaired driving incidents. This evolution reflects MADD's transition from a traditional advocacy group to a dynamic movement that embraces new technologies and partnerships to enhance roadway safety and prevention efforts.
Broadening the Mission
The rebranding reflects societal changes in understanding impairment, going beyond alcohol alone to encompass drugs and distracted driving. MADD's mission now extends to ending all impaired driving, not just drunk driving.
Enhanced Collaboration
MADD has forged partnerships with technology partners like Flock Safety, which provides tools to better detect and prevent impaired driving. These collaborations support law enforcement efforts against hit-and-runs and other crimes linked to impairment.
A Renewed Call to Action
The tagline "Impaired Driving Ends Here" serves as a clear, forceful statement representing MADD’s zero-tolerance stance and commitment to making roads safer for everyone.
Revitalizing Public Engagement
The rebranding also aims to revitalize public engagement through updated branding, movements like "Move With MADD," and a fresh visual identity to appeal to newer generations and promote widespread awareness and participation in prevention campaigns.
Expanding Reach and Education
MADD is expanding its reach and educating communities about the dangers of impaired driving through strategic partnerships with companies such as Uber, Diageo North America, Nationwide, Amica Insurance, the NFL, and UKG.
The HALT Act and Lifesaving Technology
The HALT Act, passed in 2021, mandates lifesaving anti-drunk driving technology in all new vehicles. This technology is critical to ending impaired driving for good, and MADD is well-positioned to nearly eliminate this crime. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety predicts that the HALT Act will save more than 10,000 lives per year and prevent hundreds of thousands of injuries.
A Legacy and a Vision for the Future
MADD's CEO, Stacey D. Stewart, states that the rebrand honours MADD's history and energizes its vision for the future. The rebrand aims to build awareness and urgency with the next generation of drivers while recognising MADD's achievements.
The MADD Network and Prevention Efforts
The MADD Network is a groundbreaking initiative that unites powerhouse MADD supporters to eliminate impaired driving. MADD is doubling down on prevention efforts, including education, fighting for stronger laws, and providing victims and survivors with vital assistance.
A Persistent Problem
Despite these efforts, impaired driving remains the leading cause of deaths on U.S. roadways. Every 78 seconds, someone is killed or injured in an impaired driving crash. However, with MADD's renewed focus, modern messaging, and strategic partnerships, the organisation is poised to make significant strides in reducing these devastating incidents.
