On Oct. 30, 2024, we celebrate the eight annual Buckle Up Phone Down Day.

Buckle Up Phone Down Day is an effort to raise awareness of the two most important things vehicle occupants can do: Buckling up every trip and putting the phone down when you get behind the wheel.

To that goal, the Central Coalition for Roadway Safety is giving away 100 prize packages to those who commit to fastening their seat belts and putting their phones down while driving. 

Gear showing their commitment to always Buckle Up Phone Down (BUPD) will be sent to the first 100 participants who: 

1 – Live in one of the Central Coalition for Roadway Safety’s 18 counties: Boone, Callaway, Camden, Cold, Cooper, Crawford, Dent, Gasconade, Howard, Laclede, Maries, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, Osage, Phelps, Pulaski, or Washington. 

2 – Complete the form below. 

3 – Complete at least three of the tasks below:  

  • Follow the Central Coalition for Roadway Safety on Facebook or Instagram. 

  • Take the BUPD pledge at modot.org/bupd. 

  • Post a video to Facebook or Instagram with explaining why you buckle up and put your phone down using #BUPD and tagging Central Coalition for Roadway Safety.
