Drivers-put down your phone and get a free meal
University Health System sponsors app to help safe drivers earn free food
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - University Health System has announced its new title sponsorship of safe driving app SAFE 2 SAVE, to encourage safety on the roads of South Texas.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there is a crash every 58 seconds in Texas, and 1 in 5 is because of distracted driving. SAFE 2 SAVE is a free mobile app that works to end distracted driving. Users are awarded points for putting away their phones while driving. Those points can then be redeemed at local businesses for free meals and discounts.
“When we think of an ideal sponsor that cares deeply about distracted driving and injury prevention, we think about University Health System,” said Marci Corry, owner and CEO of SAFE 2 SAVE. “We are delighted to have such a caring hospital group that wants to go the extra mile to impact the vast area it serves.”
Almost daily, the Level I Trauma Center medical team at University Hospital works to save the victims of distracted driving. Now their injury prevention staff has a new tool to add to its “Drive Now. Text L8R” education program, which seeks to change behavior by appealing to the public’s love of games, competition and rewards.
“We live in a technology-savvy world, so it makes sense to include technology in this very positive way, as part of the solution to the problem of distracted driving,” said George B. Hernandez, Jr., president and chief executive officer of University Health System.
SAFE 2 SAVE and University Health System are committed to educating school districts, corporations, universities and the public on safe driving initiatives. For more information visit University Health System’s Distracted Driving Program and SAFE 2 SAVE.
