Transportation Secretary LaHood releases plan to combat distracted driving 'epidemic' | MLive.com
The "Blueprint for Ending Distracted Driving" includes the government investing $2.4 million in pilot projects in California and Delaware to crack down on those who text or use their cell phones while driving and challenges the auto industry to adopt new and future guidelines for technology to reduce the potential for distraction on devices built or brought into vehicles.
"Distracted driving is an epidemic.
While we've made progress in the past three years by raising awareness about this risky behavior, the simple fact is people are continuing to be killed and injured – and we can put an end to it," LaHood said in a release.
