Traffic safety seems to be a thing of the past. Texting, talking, reading, writing and not paying attention to driving are now the standard. Speed limits are routinely ignored, tailgating is the new norm, as is passing in no-passing zones, not dimming your brights, and acting as if nothing bad will ever happen.
Those of us who believe in traffic law, and have advocated in our communities for safer driving, have been disappointed when local law enforcement and governing bodies shrug it all off . Tickets are only written for 10 MPH or ABOVE the speed limit. Traffic calming is poo-pooed. our communities suffer, with no recourse.
Some people never learn, until there is a dire consequence.
KKAD 25 has stepped in to fill the void. Helping to advocate for victims and their families, to support local grass-roots traffic safety actions, and to provide the tools for the average citizen to fight back against those who really can't see beyond their own narrow, irreponsible actions.
This is what a non-profit is supposed to do. It is about being accessible, providing important information and making itself available to provide seminars, training and more for those who advocate for safe roadways, and also for vicitms and their families.
For all they do, KKAD 25 should be given accolades. They are impacting the lives of EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US in a positive manner, whether we know it or not. It might be that that driver who would have hit you yesterday, slowed down because they learned a lesson from a KKAD 25 roadside, or heard a community presentation on safe driving, or learned of a fundraiser in the memory of a deceased pedestrian. It really does matter. It really is effective. Even making one person stop and think before driving is a life or two potentially saved.
I attended a seminar in NJ about 10 years ago, where KKAD 25 was instrumental in encouraging law enforcement in our communities to take these issues seriously, set up neighborhood traffic monitoring, and provide the community with resources to stop dangerous drivers.

Keep Kids Alive Drive 25 has been a great support to me after my precious nephew was killed at the age of 7 due to a speeding motorist. In memory of Aaron David Sumner Brock and all other children who have died due to traffic related incidents, Keep Kids Alive Drive 25 must continue its mission.

Through support for my family through their annual "Run to Remember" in memory of loved ones who have died in traffic incidents. They remember Aaron each year they participate in the Pike's Peak Ascent Trail Race and have special memory shirts made that are sent to family members of the loved ones they run to remember.

We have the KKAD 25 signs in our neighborhood. I think they really help. We have so many children on our street and anything that can be done to help keep them safe is a good thing. I know it always makes me check my speedometer when I see the signs in any area. There may be other programs like KKAD 25 but the dedication of these people is obvious as I have seen the signs in areas all over Omaha. They have worked to spread the movement across the United States and it's working. Thank you KKAD 25 for your tireless efforts to protect our most beloved and valuable treasure - our children.

I have been involved with this fine organization, KKAD25, for approx. 3 years and have been impressed with the leadership and focus provided by Tom Everson. He has developed pertinent programs to help increase the awareness of the public to the importance of what we all can do to help minimize the risks associated with driving. In addition, this organization reaches out to victims of driving related accidents and provides the families with support during their difficult times.

i became aware of this organization via an interview with the founder, Tom Everson, on TV. Subsequently, I became more aware of the organization's key objectives and programs which directly help improve the awareness of all of us to the dangers resulting from excessive speed and inappropriate driver behavior. I have been impressed with the specific programs set up by this fine organization to address this real world problem. The various promotional and educational programs do make a difference !
