Safe & Sober: Road Safety Campaign

JCI Barbados' Safe & Sober: Road Safety Campaign was born out of collaboration with JCI Tobago who executes the project during their Carnival season. The aim of this project is to promote and encourage the safe use of public roads in Barbados, especially during the Crop Over season, by sensitizing motorists to the risks involved in dangerous driving habits and calling for a more precautionary and responsible approach.

As such, the campaign takes a threefold approach to target different demographics across the Barbadian community: 
  1. Safe Zones - placement of zones at various events during the Crop Over season for patrons to sober up before leaving the events; 
  2. Self Defense Classes - promotion of personal safety, especially for women during the Crop Over season; AND
  3. Social Media Campaign - sharing tips on road safety and practicing safe habits before and during the Crop Over season. 

For more information, contact us at: safeandsoberbdos@gmail.com​

2019 Objectives:
  • To produce a national holistic road safety campaign geared towards reducing the number of road fatalities and accidents being observed across the island.
  • To educate motorists and pedestrians of the dangers of distractions when driving, speeding and reckless driving.
  • Partner with another local organization (JCI Tobago) to implement Safe & Sober during the Crop Over season.
