Travelers Insurance to Tackle Distracted Driving in 2018

The Travelers Institute, the public policy division of The Travelers Companies, Inc., has announced its series of 2018 educational forums, one of which will focus on reducing distracted driving.

“Our 2018 educational series will focus on issues that resonate with families, entrepreneurs and business leaders,” said Joan Woodward, President of the Travelers Institute and Executive Vice President of Public Policy at Travelers. “In collaboration with leading organizations and universities as well as top public and private sector leaders, we look forward to elevating the dialogue on these important topics and pervasive societal issues.”

Of particular relevance to fleets is the following:

• Every Second Matters℠, which brings attention to the distracted-driving crisis that is contributing to the rise in traffic fatalities in the United States. The events will feature innovative tools, such as TrueMotion’s Mojo app, to help prevent distractions and encourage drivers, passengers and pedestrians to speak up when they see drivers losing focus.
