Mason is working with the Connecticut Department of Transportation on a statewide public education campaign. The effort, which was launched in April as part of Distracted Driving Awareness Month, is running across television, radio, digital, out-of-home, social media and public relations platforms. Its message, “Every distraction is a beast. Don’t be the prey,” highlights the consequences of texting while driving, particularly among younger drivers who often underestimate the risk. The campaign is part of CTDOT’s broader effort to reduce crashes and improve roadway safety through targeted education and outreach. It will continue running statewide throughout the spring and summer.
