Families Acting for Community Traffic Safety (FACTS) gives members the information and incentives they need to build an understanding of what it means to drive safely, both today and in the future. Through their projects, members work to educate adults and peers about traffic safety and support enforcement of local rules and regulations. FCCLA members are given the tools to help families promote basic safety attitudes that can last a lifetime.
FACTS Essential Topics
- People – to understand and promote your role as a driver or passenger and keep yourself and others safe
- Vehicles – to understand vehicle safety and the role it plays in safety for you and others
- Roads – to understand and promote your role on the road as well as the safety hazards you may encounter and how to avoid or react to them
FACTS developed with support by: State Farm
