FACTS
Families Acting for Community Traffic Safety

Youth leaders can help families promote basic safety attitudes that last a lifetime. FACTS – Families Acting for Community Traffic Safety, is a national FCCLA peer education program through which young people strive to save lives advocating sober driving, seat belt use, and safe driving habits.

FACTS Units and Topics:

Through FCCLA’s FACTS program, young people learn the realities of traffic safety. They discover that safety is a family matter. Through FACTS projects, they reach their peers, children, and adults with traffic safety messages and activities.

Youth-created FACTS projects relate to the following three topic areas.

Think SMART – promote attitudes and provide events that keep young people from driving when under the influence of alcohol and other drugs.
Buckle UP – promote the benefits and safe use of seat belts, child safety seats, booster seats, and air bags
Arrive ALIVE – promote the importance of safe driving habits, especially for less-experienced drivers
