Our Vision

All North Carolinians getting where they are going safely.

While North Carolina has a dynamic community of issue-specific transportation safety advocates, what was missing was one organization with expertise in conducting high-impact public communications efforts, providing effective grassroots and grasstops citizen engagement, and serving to champion public policies that promote better behaviors to combat perils to safety across all forms and manner of transportation.

The North Carolina Alliance for Safe Transportation (NCAST) was created to be that organization, with one goal in mind: reduce the number of transportation-related crashes, injuries and fatalities in North Carolina.

A major focus of NCAST is promoting awareness of safety issues specific to younger motorists.

Teen drivers are especially at risk on the roads, with vehicle crashes the leading cause of death in America among those under 21.

The inexperience and impulsiveness of teen drivers is a significant reason for their high crash rates, making important the safety features of the vehicles they drive as well as getting plenty of supervised driving practice.

Our Mission

To drive behaviors that promote and encourage safe use of North Carolina’s transportation network.

SPOTLIGHT:
TEEN DRIVER SAFETY WEEK

NCAST promotes awareness of driving safety issues in general, and our organization recognizes the unique dangers specific to younger motorists. Teens with limited driving experience are especially at risk on the roads, with vehicle crashes the leading cause of death in America among those under 21.

During National Teen Driver Safety Week, October 15th-21st, NCAST is encouraging teens to take the BeSafe Pledge –to avoid distractions while driving, to learn and obey all traffic laws, and to urge their friends do the same. Those who pledge this week will be eligible to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card!

So take the Pledge, tell your friends and classmates to do the same for a chance on a little extra incentive to be safer behind the wheel.
