Pilot development

Sharing the Road With Trucks

Practical instruction for general motorists, students, employers, and communities.

In development

Work-Zone Safety Campaign

Seasonal resources focused on speed, visibility, space, patience, and safe movement.

Partner inquiry

Monthly Safety Content Package

Consistent safety communication for employers, fleets, sponsors, and community partners.

Seeking partners

Public Safety Partner Program

A structured pathway for organizations to support and extend TAIC’s mission.

Program-status notice TAIC is an early-stage nonprofit. Program status must be updated whenever availability, funding, staffing, curriculum approval, partner participation, or delivery capacity changes. A developing or pilot-stage program should not be presented as established statewide or nationwide service.
Status: Pilot preparation

TAIC Highway Safety Awareness Presentation

Intended audiences: Employers, schools, civic groups, public agencies, trucking companies, fleets, community organizations, and safety stakeholders.

Purpose

A 60–90 minute educational presentation that introduces the shared highway-safety responsibilities of professional drivers, general motorists, employers, and community stakeholders. The presentation is intended to provide practical awareness rather than licensing instruction, legal advice, regulatory certification, or crash investigation.

Planned content

  • Commercial-vehicle size, operating space, and visibility limitations
  • Truck blind spots, stopping distance, wide turns, and trailer movement
  • Safe following, passing, merging, and work-zone behavior
  • Distracted, aggressive, impaired, and fatigued driving risks
  • Professional conduct, public expectations, and shared accountability
  • Practical actions participants can apply after the presentation
Proposed format In-person, virtual, or partner-hosted presentation, subject to scheduling and delivery capacity.
Proposed funding model Sponsor-funded, grant-funded, partner-supported, or fee-supported when consistent with TAIC’s charitable mission.
Current next step Identify pilot hosts and complete final content, speaker, approval, and evaluation procedures.
Primary inquiry Organizations may request availability, discuss pilot participation, or ask about sponsorship.
Status: Pilot development

Sharing the Road With Trucks Program

Intended audiences: General motorists, driver-education programs, schools, employers, civic organizations, new drivers, and community groups.

Purpose

A focused educational program explaining how passenger-vehicle decisions affect safety around large commercial vehicles. The program is designed to improve practical understanding of commercial-vehicle limitations and reduce behaviors that place motorists where truck drivers may have little time, visibility, or space to respond.

Planned program components

  • Instructor or presenter slide deck
  • Participant handout and highway-safety checklist
  • Short knowledge assessment or quiz
  • Completion certificate when participation requirements are met
  • Source and revision record for educational content
  • Optional employer, school, or community discussion guide

Core learning topics

  • Where truck blind spots are located and why they matter
  • Why trucks need more room to stop and maneuver
  • How to pass without cutting into the truck’s safety space
  • Why following too closely reduces visibility and reaction time
  • How wide turns and trailer tracking affect intersections
  • How patience and predictable behavior reduce avoidable risk
Educational boundary: This program is not represented as a state-approved driver-education course, CDL training, regulatory certification, or substitute for official licensing requirements.
Status: In development

Work-Zone and Construction Season Safety Campaign

Intended audiences: Employers, fleets, professional drivers, general motorists, civic groups, sponsors, and public-awareness partners.

Purpose

A seasonal public-awareness campaign addressing the increased consequences of speed, distraction, impatience, lane changes, reduced visibility, narrowed lanes, and limited maneuvering space in work zones—especially when commercial vehicles and roadside workers are present.

Proposed campaign package

  • Work-zone safety article or educational briefing
  • Printable poster or digital flyer
  • Short social-media messages
  • Employer or fleet toolbox talk
  • Leadership safety message
  • Short video or public-service script
  • Source list and campaign review date
Public-awareness focus Slow down, increase following distance, avoid abrupt lane changes, watch workers and equipment, and give large vehicles adequate space.
Partner use Materials may be adapted for employers, fleets, civic groups, community pages, and sponsor-supported distribution under approved usage terms.
Current next step Complete campaign materials, source review, approval workflow, distribution plan, and partner participation terms.
Availability Campaign materials should be identified as developing until TAIC publishes the approved release package.
Status: Open for partner inquiry

Monthly Safety Content Package

Intended audiences: Employers, fleets, insurance and safety partners, civic organizations, sponsors, schools, and public agencies seeking consistent educational communication.

Purpose

A recurring package intended to help organizations communicate practical highway-safety information without relying on unsourced, inconsistent, or purely promotional messaging. Content should remain educational, mission-related, source-supported, and appropriate for the receiving audience.

Proposed monthly package

  • One substantive highway-safety article
  • Four short public-awareness or social posts
  • One printable flyer or digital graphic brief
  • One leadership or supervisor safety message
  • Primary-source references and review date
  • Approved usage instructions and attribution requirements

Content controls

  • TAIC should identify whether material is original, adapted, sponsored, or partner-specific.
  • Current regulations and statistics should be verified before publication.
  • Commercial sponsorship should not control safety conclusions or factual presentation.
  • Legal, medical, and regulatory subjects should include appropriate educational limitations.
  • Public claims should not exceed the available evidence.
Availability notice: Package scope, pricing or sponsorship terms, delivery schedule, licensing, and customization should be confirmed in writing before TAIC represents this as an active recurring service.
Status: Seeking responsible partners
