The Arrive Alive Tour® is coming to Northeast Texas Community College (2886 FM1735, Mt. Pleasant, TX 75455) on Monday, March 10, 2025 from 10:00 am to 4:00 p.m.
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.
Impaired and distracted driving are major issues in Texas. In 2023, 1,090 lives were lost in alcohol-related crashes, with over 8% of DUI crashes involving drivers aged 16-21. Teen drivers face a fatal crash rate three times higher than those 20 and older, and driver distraction accounts for 58% of teen crashes. Nearly one in six crashes on Texas roads last year involved a distracted driver, and an injury occurs every 2 minutes and 6 seconds. According to the TxDOT, at least one life has been lost on a Texas roadway every day for the last 24 years.
The Arrive Alive Tour®, in partnership with Northeast Texas Community College, is committed to educating students on the dangers of impaired and distracted driving to help create lifelong safe driving habits. If you have any questions or for more information, please call Nick Pitts at 888.436.3394.
