What is the Traffic Safety Triathlon?
The Missouri SADD Traffic Safety Triathlon is a traffic safety initiative aimed at using peer education to improve the lives of youth across Missouri by approaching youth traffic safety concerns of seat belt usage, distracted driving, and alcohol-impaired driving activities.
