I’ve been thinking about how to keep the most people safe
during bad winter driving conditions.
I have this daydream, where State Patrol reps meet with business
leaders and Red Cross reps to find solutions to the never-ending problem of people
having to drive to and from work in hazardous conditions.
Why these three groups? The State Patrol can give graphic
information about the costs and hazards of dealing with traffic accidents, up
to and including the deaths of motorists and those responding to the car
crashes. They can then cede the floor to the Red Cross reps.
The Red Cross can talk about how it helps businesses
formulate Disaster Plans that include ways to conduct business off-premises, so
that fewer people will be required to travel.
Business leaders and Chamber of Commerce presidents can spread
the word and encourage business owners to at least meet with Red Cross reps to
see if they can help. Chambers can host workshops and seminars, and tout the
idea at meetings.
And maybe fewer people will have to drive, and lives will be
saved, and money will be saved.
