Pasa las llaves or pass the keys. That is a phrase that law enforcement along with other agencies across Southern Arizona want people to live by in situations where a person may be thinking about drinking and getting behind
the wheel of a vehicle.
On Wednesday, the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety announced the kick off of its latest initiative to combat impaired driving, with a special
emphasis on designing effective programs to reduce impaired driving within
the Hispanic population.
The campaign is funded by a $186,000 grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the only other state to receive this grant was North Carolina.
Across the nation and in Arizona, motor vehicle crashes are the number one
cause of death for Hispanic males between the ages of 1-44, according to a
news release from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. In Arizona alone,
Hispanic represent 26 percent of all traffic crash fatalities.
