UNITE’s Arrive Alive Tour® is the nation’s number-one ranked drunk and distracted driving awareness event, as well as the first-and-only marijuana driving simulator in the country. The Arrive Alive Tour uses a high-tech, state-of-the-art simulator that allows participants to drive while distracted, drunk, or drugged in a fully functioning vehicle without moving or being intoxicated. The simulator allows participants to experience the real-life dangers without the real-life consequences. In 2023, 990 Missourians lost their lives due to traffic-related incidents. Despite an overall reduction in fatalities from 2022, the work is far from complete. MoDOT's Show-Me Zero campaign aims to achieve zero traffic fatalities by 2030. Now is a crucial time to educate all drivers on the dangers of impaired and distracted driving to help meet this goal. In Missouri, impaired driving accounts for approximately 25% of all traffic fatalities, while distracted driving was a contributing factor in more than 19,000 crashes in 2022 alone. Driver distraction and impairment continue to be major contributors to traffic crashes and fatalities across all age groups. The Arrive Alive team's mission is to educate drivers on the dangers and consequences of impaired and distracted driving and to promote lifelong safe driving habits.
UNITE's Arrive Alive Tour is sponsored by the Southeast Coalition for Roadway Safety to bring this life-changing event to the community. If you have any questions or need more information, please call Nick Pitts at 888.436.3394.
