I am very pleased to write about Keep Kids Alive Drive 25. This program has been going strong in Edison Township, NJ for about 5 years. During which time we have focused on residential neighborhoods primarily in close proximity to schools, public buildings and parks. Our goal has been to reduce speeds of vehicles and hopefully prevent a horrific accident. Our program has ben multi-faceted, we utilize: signage along the roads, placement of a speed trailer to remind drivers of their speeds, we go door-to-door handing out literature and encouraging resident participation in the program, and finally we add additonal traffic units to run radar enforcement in the neighborhood. SPEEDS HAVE BEEN REDUCED! I would also like to thank Tom Everson and KKAD25 for their updates and assistance whenever needed. I encourage other towns to get involved to protect our most important resource, our children.
Very truly yours,
Sgt. Robert Dudash Jr.
Edison Police Department

Members of the Norfolk Panther JOOI Clubs have implemented KKAD25 in our community. We have heard countless stories about speeding and wreckless driving in residential areas where our children play. Through implementation of the program, residents feel they are making a difference and report that drivers do take notice of the yard signs. With support from KKAD25, we organized a "walk" to call attention to problems related to driving too fast where children play. We have worked with Norfolk PD, who appreciate this program for what it does to make Norfolk streets safer.

We have organized a "Walk to KKAD25" to draw attention to the program and problems related to driving too fast in residential areas. We have heard stories from people about their experiences and have been able to provide KKAD25 yard signs to help them.

I really don't know what I'd do differently. Tom Everson has done much to call attention to the problem and has supporters in communities all around the country implementing the program!

I have known Tom for many years, since the inception of his dream of the program. We have worked together in Keeping Kids Alive thru our Neighborhood Watch programs and Youth Crime Watch of Miami-Dade school initiatives. His dedication to the safety of our children is unyielding and his education program is one of the best. His community involvement has made a tremendous different in the life of man.

Tom Everson runs an amazing non-profit. I met him at the "Towards Zero Deaths" conference in Minnesota in 2008, after my husband was rear-ended and killed in a traffic accident. Not only did Tom provide support and empathy, he asked me for my story and if I would like to be involved in a new campaign targeting tail-gaters. I said yes and he created "It's Not a Race! Create Space!" to honor my husband and me. Over the last two years, he has worked tirelessly to get our new initiative off the ground and onto the back of semi-trucks throughout the country. He always keeps me current with the various organizations and grant requests he submits. We have had some success, and some disappointments. But Tom is always positive and so respectful. When the organizations has its annual run, Tom always writes to me with the news, t-shirts for the event, and how he and his family will keep James' memory with them all the time. Keep Kids Alive Drive 25 is a responsive, caring, and hard-working non-profit that I recommend to everyone I know.
