MISSION - WHAT WE DO

To address the number one cause of death for children ages 5-14: Automobile accidents. The program is a character-driven presentation to grades pre-K through 4th grade to engage the children in a learning experience to properly use seat belts and booster seats, caution in work zones, and encourage their parents and older siblings not to use cell phones while driving. The program has the participation and support from the Tennessee departments of Safety, Education and Health and has reached over 900,000 children in all 95 TN counties. The main mission: Save lives.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Ollie Otter Seat Belt and Booster Seat Safety Program The Ollie Otter Seat Belt and Booster Seat Safety Program was developed by the Tennessee Road Builders Association and Tennessee Tech University as a solution to a serious problem: lack of seat belt and booster seat education to our youth at a critical age when good safety habits are formed. This program’s primary objective is to educate children in pre-K through 4th grade with interactive programs in elementary schools through sponsorship with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office. The program develops a positive opinion towards seat belt and booster seat use in the minds of children, parents, and communities as a whole. It is the expectation of the Ollie Otter Seat Belt and Booster Seat Safety Program to provide a safer environment for children every time they ride in a vehicle.
