Appriss Inc., the technology provider for six statewide collision reporting solutions and operator of www.BuyCrash.com, has volunteered to provide support for an upcoming Thanksgiving highway traffic safety campaign involving law enforcement agencies across eight states.
The “Interstate 40 Challenge: The Drive toward Zero Fatalities” is being launched today along I-40. The Tennessee Highway Patrol, California Highway Patrol, Arizona Department of Public Safety, New Mexico State Police, Texas Department of Public Safety, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Arkansas State Police and North Carolina Highway Patrol have joined forces to participate.
From noon to midnight tonight and noon to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 1, law enforcement will increase their presence along the I-40 corridor in an effort to reduce the number of fatalities during two of the busiest travel days of the year. Authorities are hoping the increased presence of officers across several states will have a positive impact on driver behavior and result in lives saved.
“Appriss delivers the most comprehensive and cost effective collision reporting solutions in the country funded at no cost through proceeds from www.BuyCrash.com. Thousands of law enforcement agencies utilize Appriss’ services to help collect and analyze crash data, study trends and develop measures to reduce vehicle crashes on public roadways,” said Michael Davis, Appriss CEO. “During the two periods, Appriss has volunteered to provide the technology platform and support services to help the participating agencies gather key metrics to be used for additional statistical analysis. We are hoping the information collected will demonstrate the effectiveness of the challenge and lead to other new and innovative ways to keep motorists out of harm’s way.”
Interstate 40 runs approximately 2,555 miles through eight states. Participating agencies will also focus on commercial vehicle and bus safety during the I-40 Challenge.
