Communities Coalition of the Red River Valley

Safe Communities Coalition of the Red River Valley
is an organization that began as a DUI Task Force
in 1982. The mission of the DUI Task Force was to
identify factors contributing to drinking and driving
and develop methods to counteract it. In 1984, the
DUI Task Force evolved into the Traffic Safety Task
Force. This Task Force was instrumental in drafting
and securing support for traffic safety legislation
and educating the public on seat belt use and passenger
safety.
In the summer of 2001, the Traffic Safety Task Force
further evolved, changing its name to Safe Communities
Coalition of the Red River Valley and adopting the
Safe Communities model. The mission of the Safety
Communities Coalition of the Red River Valley is
to decrease injuries and fatalities through collaborative
and preventative partnership efforts. Safe Communities
Coalition of the Red River Valley is a gathering
of public and private agencies that share a common
interest in injury and trauma prevention through
resources, education and information to the ever-changing
community.
The vision that supports the mission includes:
1) To educate and increase public awareness regarding
comprehensive traffic safety;
2) to provide a resource center containing current
data and information on injury statistics and prevention
efforts;
3) to act as a liaison between local, county, state
and federal agencies providing a base for communication,
information and education; and
4) to maintain a safe community program within Cass
and Clay counties.
